Default RE: Need tips - may be sealing hinge gaps for the first time

I'm hinge gapping my Venus II and was wondering which side of the rudder to do. I use clear Monokote, which ends up a little on the wrinkly side due to my complete lack of covering skills. I don't mind, becuase it's a little strip that's barely noticeable anyway. I'm not going to do both sides because historically my planes don't tend to survive long enough to get much crud in the gaps (and it's a pain in the rear too). I'm thinking the starboard side receives more airflow from the prop, and is the best to do. I submitted a search, so will keep checking the results and I'm sure will find something soon.

Thanks,
