Hobby King covering applied on top of itself, lessons learned. I covered the horizontal with white then laid out the spacing for the strips. We know that Monokote will stick to itself when wetted with window cleaner and Ultrakote does not work. Didn't what to expect here so it was a little trail and error. My first attempt was simply ironing the covering to itself starting with low heat then slowing increasing the temperature after each pass. This resulted in bubbles and an unacceptable finish so off it came. You see what happens when you remove the covering. The glue and the color stay behind. Quickly removed with acetone.
