I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

Image Comments SteveM 24-Feb-08 04:48 Rudder covered using the glue stick method (not yet shrunk with water). No fumes and no mess. Xanadu 24-Feb-08 10:38 I have heard some pre-shrinking the tissue and then glue sticking it on, especially for very light, flimsy structures. Skip 24-Feb-08 11:56 Does the balsa framework require clear doping and sanding prior to using the glue stick? The reason I ask is because I've always used clear dope to cover my frames. I stumbled across this site and am marveling at the workmanship in the building of these kits. SteveM 24-Feb-08 15:23 I may need to pre-shrink as this is nothing like the Guillow's kit tissue. When wet it got very loose then when dry it twisted the frame. I sprayed it with water again and am holding it flat while it dries. Skip, no dope or wood sealer used so far. I have been following the guide by Easy Built Models for the most part. I did not need any alcohol for this part but will have to use it if I need to take the paper off of the rudder and try again. To seal the paper I will use nothing but crystal clear as described in the guide. SteveM 01-Feb-11 07:59 I like the glue stick method used here, but not all went smoothly as the next few photos show.
