acdii, just as a point of reference may I suggest you have a look at the original "bible" of fabric covering?

This is chapter two of FAA Advisoriy Circular (AC 43.13b-1) Acceptable Methods, Techniques, and Practices - Aircraft Inspection and Repair

http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgAdvisoryCircular.nsf/list/AC%2043.13-1B/$FILE/Chapter%2002.pdf

Many of the processes, especially over lapping doped joints and dope application processes apply directly to our model aircraft. The major difference is the use of rib stiching. We don't need it in our models, the dope. or glue or the Stixit you ordered performs the same function on our little wings.

Again offered just as a point to learn a little more on the background on the very old process.
