ORIGINAL: tychoc

krossk: In another thred, the advice was that the windex/squeege method doesn't work with Ultracote. Only with Monokote on Monokote or Monokote on Ultrakote. That's why I didn't try this method.

I will try the windex method on the remaining trim too see how it works for me. Thanks for the info.

You are correct in that the windex will not activate the adhesive, but it will allow you to position the trim piece and eliminate the air bubbles. This gets the piece in place securely enough to seal it with the iron. As long as you keep the heat just high enough to adhere the trim, but no higher than absolutely necessary, I found the results quite satisfying. The guys in my club could not believe that was my first covering job!

Good luck with yours - I'm likeing the trim pattern you've got going. I may borrow some of the lines when I get to mine
