I use no adhesives--and no wood peckers. I do fine sand (320 gold #M) with a rubber block and then vacuum/blow all dust and then rub briskly with a dry washcloth and remove the remaining dust. Now I use TWO irons--one is bare and at full heat--the other is covered with a very fine weave cotton baby sock pulled tight enough to keep any seams off the sole; tape the sock to the handle to keep it taut. Set the temp on this one down to a point where it will not cause bubbles and will allow firm pressure and a circular rubbing to develop an even shrink that locks the film to the wood. When you are ready to do an edge, or a tip, use the hot iron. This iron should not be used on the surfaces! Practice this a little. You will find that the results stay locked to the wood and do not blister or lift in the summer heat. Dick Hanson
