Default RE: RTF Covering

Hi.

I have a Hobbico Hobbistar 60 MK III

[link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXGHD4**&P=3]see it here[/link]

I've flown it several times and the stripes and window covering come off after each flight. Pretty soon, I'm only going to have a white plane left. The description states:


Covering: Factory applied adhesive backed (not carried separately)
Colors are Blue and White with Red and Orange stripes.

I used a heat gun to remove the bubbles on the wing, elevator and rudder when I put the plane together and it worked great. But I don't know if the decorative stripes and other covering can be repaired with a heat gun or an iron. The tips of the stripes are very thin and look like they would simply burn and disintegrate if heated. Is there a glue available that won't destroy the covering or will an iron work?
