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.
