Default Top Cap building question.

I was reading through the manial (yeah, some of us do it by the book) and when joining the wing it states to strip back 1/2" from both sides, join, F/G and then glue the covering back on. Then when gluing the wing to the fuse, simply gluing it in with the covering glued down. I feel there will not be a good glue joint there if I do it that way. I'm planning on doing the F/G and then ironing the covering down and then using my soldering iron to strip the covering off (it leaves a good ironed down seal that way)and then mating the wing to the fuse so there is a F/G to wood joint rather than a glued down covering to wood joint. Is this (or something similar) what others have done, or have you just glued the wing on with the covering in place as in the directions?
