For anyone who still thinks Windex "activates" covering glue, try soaking a scrap of covering in a cup of Windex. The glue doesn't even get tacky. All Windex does is allow you to keep air from getting trapped under the trim. To attach the trim, after you squeegee out the Windex, you need to either heat the covering, or brush the edges of the trim piece with something that WILL dissolve the glue, like acetone. BTW, Windex works, but a few drops of dishwashing liquid in plain water works better.
Guess there is a lot of us out there confused then with regards to Monokote. Ken advised that the windex activates the adhesive on Monokote last week in another thread.

Oh yeah, meant to say, really nice covering job, somegeek.
Thanks man. [8D]
