Default Flip 3D

Thanks for all the tips. I was able to recover this Flip 3D. I used white Ultracote as the base and Monokote as the top colors. For a solvent that allowed the monokote to stick I used 60% acetone, 20% soapy ammonia, and 20% windex. I put it in a large windex bottle. The key is to do most of your work on fairly flat surfaces, squeegy out as much solvent as possible, and seal the edges with a little heat. It's much faster than any other way I have tried before. I'm really happy with the results and for once I enjoyed the covering process. Check it out.
