I am currently in the process of covering an aircraft with Monokote, midway thru I switched to some "leftovers" for a compound curve. The leftover was marked "Oracover" on the back side. The Oracover followed the compound curve much better than the Monokote and I would like to use more of it BUT... I cannot remember who supplied the Oracover, by this I mean that I purchased a "name brand" covering that had the Oracover stamp on the back. It may have been Hanger 9 or someone else. Anybody here knows who re-brands the Oracover and under what name it is sold ?

Ultracote is the same stuff as Oracover.
Oracover is brand name as sold in Europe $& Asia. = Profilm in UK = Ultracote in USA check out instruction and colour sites =
Hobby Lobby used to handle Oracover. It's got a new name now.

Ted shuffled out of his cave and grunted these great (and sometimes not so great) words of knowledge:
Ultracote is the same thing as Oracover. It is sold by Horizon Hobby

Hobby Lobby used to be exclusive distributor for Oracover. It is a low temp. covering compared to Monokote's high temp. requirements. I believe they still sell Oracover but under a different name....worth giveing them an email for information.
Hobby Lobby is selling a better version of oracover & they call it polycover I LIKE IT
In what way is it better? Sounds interesting!
