It's true that the Chinacote appears to be causing alot of troubles... I go over mine each season, and only had one tail stripe come loose. On occasion I see a wee little edge popping up and I hit it quick.

BUT use a MEDIUM to MEDIUM-LOW HEAT... when heated too much the pigment "shrinks" away from the clear leaving a "dark window" OR on trim can shrivel faster than you can blink. Slow, extended medium heat, let it cool, again.
