Default Monokote backing use?

Does any body do anything with the monokote backing? I feel bad just throwing it away.

Save it!
Use to cover plans to keep the glue off the paper.
Use it when making an RTV seal between the wing and fuselage to keep the RTV from gluing both together.
Use it to spread CA on a surface with your finger wrapped in it...

Vapour barrier for you home/workshop?

Hehe.

Temporary fix for your car window broken out by the last r/c plane that flew into it.

They SELL the backing as Great Planes Plan Protector! I've yet to find a glue that will stick to it!

You can use it to mixing surface for epoxies, wrap an old credit card to spread CA over fiberglass reinforcements
