RE: Helping out your flying Partner!
Next up was to fill out a hole in the aieleron. This area has a red graphic stuck on top of the white base covering so I decided to remove the red graphic and fill out the surface below then add a new graphic when completed. Now, this sounds easy but if you've ever tried to get a sticky back piece of "solartrim" off a surface you'll be familiar with the problems that brings, namely the clear parting company with the base colour and also tearing at the edges making removing all the little pieces a real b*tch of a job to get off [:@] well not anymore. Take your covering iron set to a med/low heat and rub it over the area you want to remove, then gently peel up an edge with a scalpal blade, just enough to grab a hold of it and then re-apply the iron behind where your pulling and gently move the iron back as you pull the trim off, it comes off like a wet water slide! Heres some pics on the process:
