Did we learn a little lesson here?

Sorry, don't really mean to be a smarta*s. I've never had any luck with MonoKote trim sheets, even on MonoKote. Even if I get them to stick, the stuff lifts off on the first flights.

Thanks Ill try the heating iron.

I've been working with Monokote since it came to market (and thats a whole lot of years) The trim sheets are next to worthless. Sometime using heat helps but even then temproarily. I use super monokote for all my trim and graphics work, with the exception of some striping where I use automotive striping tapes.

The trick in application is to use water with a drop or two of dishwashing detergent in a quarts worh and float the precut super monokote into position. Once you have it where you want it, squeegee out the water and any air bubbles from underneath. Wait until all the water has dried and then lightly seal it down with your sealing iron, working from the center to the edges. Use a lower temp than you would use to apply the base monokote.

Doing it this way your trim will never lift and give you any grief. Remember only use the weight of the iron or less to secure the super monokote trim piece, and use a slightly lower temp. If you are careful you can also do it without the water trick but for most it's easier using the float meathod. The hardest part is remembering which side is the adhesive side after cutting out the trim pieces.
