Default monokote seam over open areas

I've finally come up with a trim scheme I like for my new AW 29% Edge, but have a problem: the side of the fuselage has four large lightening holes over which a seam would run (two colors meet) as well as a 3rd colored stripe above the seam. I don't like layering Monokote especially over open areas (I use 1/8" overlaps) b/c it's too easy to get lots of bubbles and wrinkles between the layers, and I'd rather not "fill up" the holes with balsa to provide a surface to iron to b/c it adds weight. Any suggestions? Thanks!
