Monokote Trim Solvent

[Fletcher, Richard]

The Windex method is the absolute best way to attach trim colors over a mono
or ultra covered model. Let's say for this example you want to place a blue
stripe on the wing about 1" by 6". First cut the blue stripe from monokote.
Remove the backing. Then spray Windex or a similar product on the finished
wing, put the blue stripe in place and squeegee out the Windex. Let it dry
over night. The next day go over the stripe with an iron set at no more then
200 degrees or else it will bubble. Then use the pip of the iron set at 300
degrees and seal the edges. Done. There is no method better then this one.

Please describe the Windex method...
 
Also, I'm not the smartest guy on the block here, but what is the best way
to apply the trim solvent. I'm covering my son's trainer, and probably got a
bit more detailed than I should have. But it's what he wanted... ;^ )

For mono over mono, or mono over ultra, use the Windex method. No bubbles,
ever.

It would appear that Mr.Kababjian is absolutely correct. I just went and
tried it out. 
With Monokote you get one shot to position things and if you miss by the
slightest amount you're cooked. The bond is good for eternity. 
On the Ultra the stuff discolors the surface and the bond can be pulled
apart for quite a significant period of time. 
In my expereience, Ultra over Ultra is way easier than Mono! If you keep one
end up in the air and work from the opposite end with an iron, it goes down
with absolutely no bubbles. The same technique can be used with Mono and the
same results can be achieved, but I can only perform this on a solid
surface. On open bay wings I cannot get a bubbleless application. 
People have commented "how did you do that without any bubbles?", but I can
see 'em!!!!
