RE: Hairspray
Vince speaks the truth.
The surface must be smooth, clean and dust free and the iron must be HOT. The iron must be HOT enough to momentarily discolor the Monokote when it passes over it. It helps to 'rub' the MK down with a folded cloth or oven mitt (immediately after the iron) while it is still HOT. Some irons don't get HOT enough. The MK will contour to most shapes, if the iron is HOT enough, by stretching and ironing. Otherwise (wing saddles, etc.) the MK can be 'finger cut' and each 'finger' ironed down over the previous one for concave and beside the next one on convex surfaces. I've had to do this on wing tips before.
