800 gr is much lighter than I thought it would be. Looking at a walbro carb, you would think the carb alone weighs 1kg. Does the 800 gr. include ignition box and battery?

Thanks for showing some of your oracover mess...

When I use super monokote I like to use 2 irons. One real hot and the other on low heat. On large surfaces (wings) I use high heat around the edges, then a heat gun and a hot glove (over the large areas). All in all, I just go real slow.

For putting my trim over other monokote, I spray the base surface with windex then place the precut trim piece on. Then I squeeze out all the water and bubbles. I wait overnight, then seal the edges with high heat. I know there are other methods, but that's the one I use.
