Default Windex Question

Hello all, as I can read on this forum that Windex basically is a solvent and act on the glue of monocote.
Well here is my question, here in Europe I cant find Windex and I'm using Oracover for all my jobs. so did some one try something that works just to minimize my try and error road?

Thanks.

As far as I know there is no method for putting Oracover (Ultracoat in the US) on that is similar to The Windex Method for Monokote. The Windex method works on Monokote because the ammonia in the Windex activates the adhesives on the Monokote.

Windex is simply a water and alcohol solution with a bit of ammonia added. It is not any kind of solvent for Oracover.
