Default Windex method real or not

I hope Im not opening a can of worms here but I have read many posts on using windex for applying monkote over monokote.
I have read that it only worksif you apply heat, andI have readthat it works without heat.
I thought I would give it a try.
Here is what Idid.
I had part of a monokote covered wing from a plane that I previously crashed.
The wing was covered with red monokote.
Icleaned the part of the wing to be covered with alcohole.
I cut a 1" square piece of white monkote.
I sprayed the wing with blue windex with Omonia D and placed the white monokote on the wing.
I squeeged the excess windex from under the white monokote and wiped it down with a paper towel.
After letting the wing sit for 48 hours, I was easily able to peel up the white piece of monkote.
yes I did peal off the plastic backing before applying the monokote.
I am getting the impression that this is just a myth.
Did Ido something wrong?
Can anyone share thier results?

Thanks
