Default RE: applying Top Flite Trim

an artist told me to try a spray bottle filled with distilled (or drinking) water with one ounce of Dawn. spray the surface and then lay the trim in place..............for some reason i thought this was nutz, but after doing it and using a squeegee to push the liquid out and letting it dry, i was totally sold on the idea.
i had been told of this method years ago when guys first started using monkote trim, but had a mental block believing that the soap in the water would prevent the sticking of the adhesive.......boy was i wrong.
use to try sticking the trim down dry and then spend some hours popping the little bubbles out[:@].............the method above comes out perfect.
