To use windex for applying a Monokote overlay, all you have to do is...
- Cut out your overlay piece,
- Make sure the base Monokote layer is clean and dust-free,
- spray the base layer with windex,
- Peel the backing from the overlay and lay the overlay piece over the base layer,
- Position the overlay where it needs to be,
- Squeegee any bubbles and as much moisture as you can out from under the overlay,
- Let it dry -- at least overnight,
- Seal it (using a COOL Monokote iron or by running solvent around the edges).
A couple things... First, until it's dried, you can peel it off and reposition it, so mistakes don't really matter. Second, you can use water with half a drop of liquid dish detergent instead of windex. Third, a scrap of balsa sheet makes a nice and resonably soft squeegee. Start sqeegee-ing it down in the middle and gradually, carefuully work your way outward. Fourth, if you use the iron, it should be heated just enough that the adhesive side of a scrap of Monokote sticks to it... not enough to shrink the covering at all. Otherwise the Monokote will emit a gass that will gather as ugly bubbles under your overlay.
