You need to be careful with bubles arond the edges. When I trimmed out my 4*60, I had a couple places where the trim wasn't really stuck down like I thought. As I applied the acetone. I could see it wick under the trim. I pushed it down with my finger and discovered that the adheasive is also the color. I ende up with a couple ugly spots along the edge. Make sure you seal the edges well with an iron before doing the final seal with the acetone.

I was using one of the pipettes for applying CA. THe acetone was flowing to freely from and that caused part of the problem I later discovered the tip to use a cotton swab to apply it. It would be nice to have a felt point to like a marking pen to apply the acetone.

PS, one more tip to keep in mind. Cleaning the model at the end of the flight day with Windex with Amonia will cause the edges of the monokote to lift. The Amonia is what desolves it to begen with.
