Gary,

Thanks for the advice! I was concerned about Monokote over Ultracote because of the different shrink rates. Based on your advice I broke out the Monokote scraps and went at it. It worked fine over the Ultracote. I'll post the final product soon.

Monokote over itself or Ultrakote isn't too bad if the area isn't extremely large (say about 1-2 inches max wide) and you can "roll" it on slowly so the air can escape as you go. Use a low temp iron to start with. Then you can raise the temp for a final seal; just don't let the gasses start building up.

Otherwise you could try the "windex" method which many swear by. I haven't tried that yet so can't say.
