Default RE: How to do this covering?

Unfortunately, Acetone does not work on Ultracote []

Gene, I would wet the Q-Tip and go over all of the edges of the black.

The windex will hold the covering down pretty good, but acetone works much better. So did I hear you say, "why not use Acetone instead of Windex?"

Simple, acetone is MUCH more agressive on the adhesive than Trim Solvent (That should answer jonny hthwy's question). I have tried using straight acetone on some 1/2" stripes one time and the adhesive actually globed up under the covering. I managed to save it, but I was very glad that it was only a narrow strip.

So when you wet the edges, the acetone works its magic on the edges and keeps them from lifting.
