Hi Bobby,

Once you have a smooth surface with all the old monocoat and adhesive removed following the great tips in this thread, I have found it really helps if you spray the entire frame to be covered in cheap hair spray, leave it for about one hour then start to recover. I know it sounds wierd but the adhesion of the monocoat (or whatever) is really improved. Just use the cheapest "home brand" hairspray from the local supermarket. P.S. It helps if you get your wife to buy it for you then you don't have to explain why you smell like cheap hairspray

Cheers,

Colin
