From my limited experience,......
Did you remove old glue/adhesive?
Did you scuff sealing/glue surface with at least ScotchBrite?
Did you use any sort of degreaser/dewaxer?
What was the temp when new seals applied?

Contamination or cold temps can make the adhesive have a harder time to stick.


This is on a new resurface and paint. I had it done by others but they did a fantastic job with it so I just need to figure out how to fix. It's been in box and hangar for four years.

I have one hour flight time on it after the refinish and paint. So, I would think the mylar had a problem from the start. May had been on the shelf for years before being applied? So, do you think the best would be to just replace? If so, could you tell me who could supply this and what degree is used if different on the 27? Thanks, Gary
