your time with the iron, and really seal the edges well, they won't lift. You
need a proper overlap, and a covering plan so that things over lap like
shingles, and seal the model fully when your done.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

size=2>when putting color over color at a seem be sure to wipe the edges clean,
and I often use trim solvent to clean the covering I am overlapping to be sure
"nothing" is on it. This way, the seam is absolutely closed, and
sealed.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Monokote or<BR>Ultracote? Back ten years ago I used to mix up K&B
Superpoxy clear with<BR>gloss harnened in a 1 oz cup, and brush with a nice
paint brush along the<BR>leading edges and corners, any place that would be
prone to lifting.<BR><BR>What else do you guys do, if anything, to seal
these edges?<BR><BR>-D<BR><BR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR><BR>I have not been doing any
sealing, the key is to get the edges REALLY hot, they will stay down if they
are put down hot (speaking of monocote, I quit using Ultracote because is
doesn't seal as well) Any of the current clear topcotes PPG, DuPount etc
would work and I have used this to lay monocote trim on a glass fuse, better
than K&B because doesn't yellow.<BR><BR>Bob</FONT>
