Attach Monokote Trim (or Ultracote)

You can easily mix up a brew that will allow you to use the "wet" method to attach your Monokote trim that is very easy to do and will not require any sealing with the iron when it's dry:

In an old Windex or other spray bottle mix up about 4 oz. water

2 or 3 oz. of denatured alcohol

a small amount of dishwashing liquid (about 8 or 10 drops)

about 1 to 1-1/2 oz of Trim Solvent.

Shake it up good and spray it on the base covering, getting a even thin coat.

Lay your Monokote trim (be sure to remove the clear plastic) onto the sprayed area and slide it around until it's in exactly the right position.

Take a soft rubber squeegee (get these at the car parts place) and working from the center in all directions squeegee the liquid out until there are no bubbles or creases.

Use paper towels to sop up the excess and then allow to dry at least four hours (depends on temp and humidity).

The trim will be fastened to the base Monokote as if it were ironed on and won't come off. It's pretty easy to do but if you have an old wing you might experiment a little to get the hang of it. Oh yes, this method also works on Monokote trim over painted surfaces and does not harm the paint (Rustoleum in this case).
