Status: offline 		Can someone go over the method for applying monokote over monokote using Windex. I hear it's the best way to avoid bubbles.

Thanks!

Yes, this method works very well and there are a couple of variations. Basically, you:

1) clean the surface with acetone or alcohol then wet the area thouroughly with Windex.
2) Float your graphic/trim into place.
3) Use a credit card covered in Tissue or paper towel and squegee out all of the excess Windex and bubbles.
4) let dry over night
5) Iron down just the edges with LOW temprature. Temp should be about 1/3 of your notmal sealing temprature. Some people use trim solvent instead of an iron.
