Covered the wing with the supplied Guillow tissue. Applied it with a purple glue stick, then applied a mist of water. I'll see how it looks when I get home from work today, hopefully it's drying nice and tight. |

I've been thinking of trying the glue stick method so I'll be interested to see how it turns out. |

My experience with stick glue (Elmers)and tissue has been more than satisfactory. I suggest caution in not excessively saturating the tissue. To spray I have a sample size pump spray (like from womens hair spray) and it lies down a very fine mist. |

The glue stick method is the way to go. I always make sure I use a fresh stick so that it glides on easily and doesn't add unnecessary weight. By using a glue stick, it is also possible to remove tissue from the frame (for a repair) by pulling it off carefully. |

I still use Elmers 50/50 water, but when I help a beginner I show them the glue stick method. I have to agree that you should use a fresh stick for each build. |

I did one build with a purple glue stick.....never again.
Prefer to use old fashioned dope, with wet covering method.
But to each their own, what ever works for them. |
