Top Flite TOPR2420 - Manual (Page 7)

Narrow stripes can be made to go around
curves. Stripes with widths of 1/8" or less work the
best. Heat the stripe with the tip of the iron as you
work it around the curve, a little at a time.
Clean off any color residue from around the
edges with Top Flite CA Debonder (TOPR1028) or
lacquer thinner. This should only be done if color
residue is visible. Don't apply debonder or thinner to
all stripes.
We hope you enjoy using your Smart Stripe as
much as we do in the Top Flite model shop. Before
you know it, you will be turning out professional-
looking, low-maintenance trim schemes that will
generate lots of "oohs" and "ahs" at the flying field.
