Default RE: monokote and acetone help

Acetone will do nothing but make you high. The main ingredient in trim solvent is toulene. This is apparently what activates the glue on MONOKOTE ONLY. Yes, glass plus (or other ammonia basded cleaners) will soften the adhesive on MONOKOTE ONLY, but will not stick it down permanetly. A trim iron or a Qtip soaked in trim solvent will have to be applied around the entire perimeter of your trim piece. Otherwise the edges will start to lift. I used this method on the CAP 21 below. 60+ hours in that covering scheme.
