Default Tissue Covering Please Help!

I am working on a Guillows Cesna 150 balsa kit that is going to be rubber band powered at first until I can do a conversion. The kit come with tissue paper for covering and I can't for the life of me figure out how to work with it!I covered my Aero Lectric with Monokote which was easy enough to figure out, but the tissue / dope just doesnt seem to be working. I've cut the dry tissue to size to start with the bottom of the wing. Next I've mixed Aerogloss Metallic blue dope with Aerogloss thinner in a 1:1 mixture. I've brushed a thin layer of the dope on the bottom of the wing, then laid the tissue over it, then I've pulled it taught and applied a layer of thinner followed by a layer of dope. I then let it dry but after it dries the tisse comes right off. I can't seem to get it to adhere and stay glued to the wing. What am I doing wrong?

Please help!
