Thank you for the quick reply,

I am doing both sides and sealed everything with clear lacquer. The ailerons are not as thin as the ones you were working with and so far no warping.

One thing I discovered when applying the silk. As I was working out a wrinkle with my finger I could feel more clear under the silk in some areas then in others. Instead of trying to use a credit card or something as a squeegee I just rubbing the silk down with my fingers. That helped even out the distribution of the clear polly across the entire wing and it seemed to really set the silk in place. Of course gloves are required to do it that way.
