Bag made from 7mil plastic
Since I have a 4 day weekend, I can get pretty far with the wing sheeting. The method I like to use is vacuum bagging. I truly beleive this is the easiest method and most accurate way to sheet wings. I also feel it is the lightest method. There is no real need to go out and buy expensive equipment. There are a few places such as ACP and CST that offer a little device called EZ Vac. It is a continuous running pump that is inexpensive and works great for sheeting wings. The bagging sleeves and clamps are available from the same sources. I have loaned those items out so I will be using 7mil plastic tarp material and sealing tape for my bag and the same vacuum pump that I use for fuselage production just dialed down a bit.
