Default RE: Monokote over Ultracote?

ORIGINAL: hookedonrc

It just sounds too good to be true that you can just spray windex on the back side of MonoKote and it will stick even without the trim solvent. (No offense meant towards termagator.)
I think he uses heat on solid surfaces and trim solvent elsewhere to seal down the edges of the Monokote.

I think the main idea of the Windex is to get the trim completely flat against the underlying material (no bubbles). Once that's done you only have to seal down the edges to make it stick. I've done this with Monokote on Monokote and I use trim solvent to keep the edges down. I could still peel the Monokote up with Windex only.
