There is a seam Jester, but it's darn near invisible. You'd have fun I bet.
You Tube has some good videos that show how to apply iron-ons, and they are all pretty close to the same. Check out a video and then maybe use an old blade or piece of wood and practice, that's a good way to learn. The glue activates with heat, and the degree it can be stretched around corners wil amaze you. Any buddies who build planes will have spare covering to just give you I'll bet, heck borrow their iron, I lend my stuff out all the time.
shuts down learning and keeps people from asking questions because they fear they are asking the "stupid" question. Or, just don't post in my threads.
Sorry, what shuts down learning is asking for advise, getting it from some people who know the answer, then blowing them off. Here you go then :Painting your blades is a ridiculous (I didnt say stupid-you did) idea, but by all means go right ahead.
The "other post"was meant to jar the guy into getting help before he wasted a few hundred dollars and to instilla little reality, so he can get the same endorphin release the rest of us get when he conquers his apprehension and does what he needs to do to suceed.
Don't like it? Go paint your blades.
