work slowly. You should be able to just see the wood grain under
the covering when proper adhesion has occurred. Go over any and

trim colors to over shrink and pull away leaving gaps on the color
lines. The trim stripes are especially vulnerable to over shrinking.
Getting Started:
Using a hobby knife or soldering iron, carefully remove the
