covering Great Planes Cap 232
If you opt to use MonoKote Trim Solvent, use a VERRRRY SMALL amount. If you use too much, the trim sticks instantly, and will not come up for repositioning. When you lay the top piece over the area with the solvent on it, you need to anchor one end, then use your fingers to squeegee it down in order to prevent bubbles. Practice on some scrap before you do it on your nicely covered plane. It takes some practice. This solvent is also good for cleaning up any "bleeding" of colors on edges.
I've tried to poke holes in my base color (with a Woodpecker or a pin) then iron the top trim color down over it. It worked OK, but you could see the little holes through the top color (white in that case).
Next plane I do, I'm going to try soapy water to lay down the top color, let dry, then use a trim iron around the outer edges to affix it. Sounds like it will work well.
