I'm recovering a wing on an old balsa model. It looks to me that the old covering might be Towerkote. When peeling off the old covering, the clear mylar comes off, but in a few places the glue and pigment stay behind. I tried naphtha (lighter fluid) in a test area, and it does remove the pigment and glue and expose the balsa wood with a little effort.

My question is if using lighter fluid to clean and prepare the affected areas, will the use of lighter fluid prevent the new iron-on covering from properly adhering. And are there any other useful tips? I plan to recover the wing with Monocoat.

How much time to allow the lighter fluid to fully evaporate?
Lighty sand the affected areas as a final step?
Etc.

Thanks in advance
