Ok Traxx, it is good to read that the plane is only 2 years old, and built well. It was suggested to me to use fingernail clear polish to seal the edges of my decals,BUT you have painted cloth covering; so not sure this would work ok. Maybe you can find out what paint was used, and use a clear paint of the same mfg just around the edges. I would be careful about using a covering iron against a painted cloth cover job. If you feel adventurous, locate a spot near the tail wheel with suggested paints to see if there is a bad, or good reaction from the spot touch with the end of a cotton swab. Let us know what you found that works. A 4 stroke engine will really sound nice in this model. Good luck on your first Test Flight.
