Default MonoKote Trimsheets - Iron On?

I tried to do some trim with these sticky back sheets over existing monokote convering. I cleaned the surface with alcohol and put them on. It does not seem to have bonded well. Can I , or am I supposed to iron or use a heat gun to finish this off?

Thanks!

The one time I used a Monokote trim sheet it stuck too good, too fast. I had cleaned with windex rather than alcohol. I did manage to get some of the wrinkles out with heat.

Ultracoat trim sheets seem to have very light adhesive and the instructions tell you to iron them down for best results.

Normally you shouldn't have to use any heat on the trim sheets. Maybe you got a bad batch?

The only time I tried Monokote trim (checkers) it wouldn't stick either, no matter what I did. I finally threw it away. [:@] Maybe I got a bad piece too? Soured me on the stuff.

I Use Them And I Do Use Heat To Apply Them.If You are Having A Problem Try Monokote Trim Solvent.It Will Allow You To Move The Trim Piece Around Then Let It Dry And It Will NOT Come Off.
The Only Set Back Is That It Stinks Big Time And Can Be Dangerous .You MUSt Have Good Ventilation.
Guess How I Know.Still Good Stuff.
