Default Windex Method Bubble Problem

I have a plane that I finished covering with Ultracote. I began using Monokote for my trim schemes last night. I have a few questions for you:

1. I used 409 Glass & Surface cleaner instead of Windex. Is this gonna be a problem? The back of the container reads: “Do Not Use On Tint Coated Windows.

2. I squeegeed all the 409 and removed all the big air bubbles with a credit card. I noticed that after the Monokote set for a couple of minutes, I could notice very small pin size air bubbles all over the trim. Is this normal? I tried removing them the credit card, but could not remove them. I didn’t want to keep trying since the credit card seemed to leave light surface scratches.

3. How long does the Monokote need to set before I can use the iron and Trim Solvent. After a few hours of setting, I could still easily lift the Monokote trim from the plane. is this normal?

Any help would be appreciated!!!
