WOW! It's been years since I've covered an aircraft, but you can bet the next time I do I'll be using this method because you've shown us how easy it is to apply complex graphics.
Thank you for the excellent demonstration. I'm going to try this technique on a fairly simple pattern as soon as I get hold of a sufficient piece of glass.
Everyone talking about plotters, and computers, why are you even looking at this video? The idea is something you can do yourself and get a decent looking design. I find it hard to draw a circle, but I have used this technique with great results. Something I never thought I could do. If I wanted something perfect I would shell out thousands of dollars for someone else to do it. I prefer learning how to do this for myself. And NO, I can't scan vectorize, output to vinyl, but I can do this.
@hopeso Thanks, I really appreciate your informative and helpful post. And that was pretty fast reply. I have a lot of videos posted and I find that I'm not alerted to most of the comments that I get. I have to visit each and every posting and read through the comments section. Have you run into this problem and if so, how do you fix it?
great transfer idea - would like to know if you removed the clear backing from the monokeote before you applied it to the glass with the windex thank you for the adivce
I have also found out if you use "old" Pressnseal it doesn't release with heat as well as fresh. I had some left over from when I first saw this video almost 3 years ago. It becomes more tacky and I kept pulling up the black monokote.
I could be wrong, but what your doing looks just like vinyl cut letters. u could take that image, scan it, use a program like coreldraw to vectorize (make it into line) and then you can output on a vinyl cutter... computer cut vinyl is real a excat. Then apply transfer tape to it, which is like your glad material. then apply the vinyl to the monokote on the plan..
is it really critical to let it sit overnight, is it possible to just clean the monokote lay down the press n seal and then apply the heat right away after laying it down on the monokoted piece??? its a very nice idea thanks for your input i will copy that
I have no idea how you came up with this but it is genius. Really going to make personalizing my airplanes easier, and great looking. GREAT WORK!

That was great. Thanks, I'm already getting ideas for the Kit I'm working on!
Bad ass. Thanks for taking the time to share this.
Well done, after watching this I may be able to do this. Thanks.
SWEET! Now I have to try this technique. I just dig this kind of stuff. Thanks
Awesome video
Btw its the ammonia in the windex that activates the glue but acetone will also work but it will be a stronger bond ...
Dude Awesome video!! Seriously, thanks for the tip!
a great tip! If only I could find some of this Glad - Stick & Seal in the UK...
Bravo!
and a great design too
Thanks for helping. Keep the great job !
Genious! Who knew that Stick and Wrap would make a good sticker backing? You should have patented this idea and sold it as a hobby product.
Excellent. Thanks for posting this.
That is just awesome, thank you for shating this, take care my friend
Very well done! This procedure would work well for making insignias for our Scale Warbirds. Also noseart for say a B-25 or B-17 Bomber.

I Am Interested In Using Monokote On A Sonotube Telescope Body
Any Suggestions Or Articles I Should Look At...??
Awsome!

Fantastic !
What is windex made of ? I don´t find this product in my country. thanks a lot !!!

Excellent work, I'd like to embed this video in my website with your permission.
SuuhhWEEETT!
Is this iron or monocote or a self adhesive trim sheet?
Are you using regular Monokote with th "dry" adhesive or the trim Monokote with the sticky adhesive?
That is what I want to know.
you used a piece of glass as your work base. is that a piece of plexi glass
WOW
wow that is great!!
