I have a rc guys decathlon and the trim will not stay on I have tried to reheat but still comes loose is there something that I can use to spray on or something else to use to seal the trim and that it will not come loose

clear nail polish works well.....

I have seen some peeps go around all the trim edges with a Q tip and thin CA, but I use a small fine brush and automotive Urethane Clearcoat.

I have the same plane. That covering is terrible. It does not stick well. I actually got medium ca with a fine applicator and put a tiny drop under the corners or anything that was lifting and stuck it down.

CA works great. But be careful if you use the thin. It's quick but it'll drip/run (past the edge of the trim)when you press it down if you use too much. A tiny bit is all you need and then use a scraper--plastic credit card works--to get it nice and flat.
