          LustreKote Paint (Gloss):    TOPR7210
          MonoKote Trim Sheet (Gloss): NONE
          MonoKote (Gloss):            TOPQ0210
          MonoKote is a High Temperature Covering, NOT For Use Directly On Foam
          EconoKote IS For Use Directly On Foam, Use the Following:
          EconoKote Covering:  TOPQ2601-TOPQ2612
            (EconoKote may be used on top of, but not under MonoKote.)
        **Temperature Ranges: Flat MonoKote Uses a Higher Temperature to Apply.
            Attaching to Wood:  240 - 275 degrees F (activating the glue)
            Partial Shrinkage:  230 - 270 degrees F
            Maximum Shrinkage:  270 - 350 degrees F
                                                                         
TECH NOTE: The characteristics of the flat MonoKote differ slightly from
           standared MonoKote covering:
           Flat MonoKote requires higher temperatures to apply than standard
           MonoKote because of the flat finish. In addition to the higher temp
           settings, this covering may require the iron to be in contact with
           the covering and wood slightly longer than the standard finish.
           If this covering is applied too loosely, it may be difficult to get
           a tight shrink with this product. Also, when applied loosely, it
           could become impossible to remove any wrinkles that may appear.
