Thanks for the info on wax paper and the clear polyethylene dropcloth ... I'm willing to do whatever i need to to keep from papering bottom side of wing with plans...

Also, can you guys help me with general advice on securing plans to work space... and keeping evreything tight so there are no wave and ripples in the plan... I've thought of ironing...taping, etc, but once again i differ to you people who have untold years of experience.

My workspace is an old desk. I discovered that the desk had a 1/16 low spot in the center... so i went to home depot and bught some floor level/filler stuff that i spread on... then i just took a straigh edge and smoothed it like i was doing a concrete job..

anyway, i have a smooth flat/square surface ... as i incorporate the plans to the work area... I am wondering about the best approach.

Again i thak you for your time and sharing of your knowledge. I only wish i could buy you all a double mocha and go flyin with ya!
