Default Windex method

Cut out the strips, lay them where you want them to be. Take them off and spray windex on the place you want the strips to go. Then gently lay it over the windex and smooth it out. Let it dry 24 hours. Come back and go over it with a iron on low heat. This method works great!

Default Covering

Here is something. This is a club members airplane. He did this the way I'm getting ready to tell you: http://www.mempropbusters.com/images...0underside.jpg

You take a spray bottle and fill it with soapy water. You spray it on the covering, and place the covering where you need it. Once it is set, you take a sponge, and squeegie out the water. Let it sit for about 24 hours so let the rest of the water evaporate. Then, take some of the sealing stuff (trim solvent I think)that they make for covering and seal the edges. I've used clear fingernail polish without any problems, but it does flex, so it can break.
