Default Monokote over Ultracote?

I have been reading many threads on RCU about many different covering techniques. One that I have read about, and used quite frequently is the "windex method." I use Ultracote exclusively and have a question about mixing it with MonoKote. It appears from what I have read that you can activate the adhesive on Monokote by spraying it with the Windex and putting it in place. What I have read leads me to believe that no steps beyond using a squeegee to remove the extra Windex and bubbles are needed. I have tried using Ultracote in the same manner, but have found that you really need to apply heat to it to get it to stick. If you just spray the windex on it, once it dries, it just comes right off. So my question is this can I use Ultracote for my base covering and then come back with my trim details using Monokote and just use Windex without heat? (Sorry for the long question, but wanted to make sure I clarified it.)
