I've tried using Acetone to seal graphics made from Monokote onto Monokote with pretty good success, here is my question, is Acetone the same as Monokote trim seal? I've read an article on applying Monokote over Monokote by mixing water, dish washing liquid, alcohol, and Monokote trim solvent, spray it on apply graphics push out the solvent and let sit for a few hours. Do you think I could substitute Acetone for trim solvent?
I don't know about acetone - never tried it.
What I have used with great success is BLUE Windex.
Make sure the area the graphic is going to be applied to is clean.
Apply the graphic and position it where you want it.
Squeegee the excess Windex out from underneath the graphic.
Let it sit for 24 hours.
Go over the edges with a trim iron or trim solvent to ensure they are sealed.
The Windex trick ONLY WORKS ON MONOKOTE. It activates the adhesive on the film.
There are several threads on this here.
