Default RE: Mosqitobite TriPacer going on the workbench.

hILLVILLE. I don't work with monocoat that much and do not know if windex activates it or not. What I have read leads me to question that. Are you sure that it was activated or is beeing held down by surface tension of the water layer. The guy to ask is Megamang. He has done a T-rex with a wild monocoat scheme.
Most times the trim piece is ironed down after it is adjusted into place. If surface tension is holding it down it will lift if the water ever evaporates. I could be wrong, I often am.

I wish my folks had bought me a car for graduation, unfortunatly I would have had to wait untill I was 41. After leaving the service in 79 I worked until 86 when I went back to school full time. I graduated in 88 and had to start from scratch. Retired in 02 at 55 for health reasons, and moved to Starvation Ridge.
That baby thing and Corvettes is a commom complaint. The Corvette must be a second, or even third car for the family man. In my case the first one was not, and the later one came in after all our kids had left home. My red 1973 coupe was traded in on a 75 AMC Pacer. What a let down. We sold the 90 roadster in 02 when we moved up into the mountians. No place to park it out of the weather. And besides all of our 2 wheel drive rigs must stay parked from Oct. to March. Heck I have to lock the hubs to get up the driveway. My snow plow truck is chained at all four corners just to plow up and down the driveway.
OK, no more car talk.

I have thought of having the side view plan sheet reproduced and use the outboard profile view as a layout tool for my paint mask. One of the contributors suggested that I cutout masks from contact paper placed back to back so as to get mirror images of the scheme. You peel the paper backing off and lay the masks down, paint, and remove the masks. That is what I plan to do. Contact shelving paper is available locally and we have a printer in town who can duplicate the plans full size. Or I can trace them and save 3 bucks.

More later.
