I cant understand why nobody has answered you...here it is./...the pinking tape went over all seams and over the ribs in the wing,, "rib stiching" on fabric planes...such as the cub...wings flex and so does the fuse,,,so it helped with rubbing a hole in it as well... just made it more reliable....as far as our models go...heres what i do and it works good...if your painting your plane...use elmers wood glue and put some talic powder in it to thick'n,"to thick and wont work..to thin and youll end up with rivs the size of a basketball..hehehehe"..find a old needlevalve out of an engine youll never use again...blunt the head with a hammer and dip into the mix and "dot" the rivs on....its easy,,,but does take a long time...as far as the panel lines primer your plane sand and do what ever it takes to get ready for paint....put one or two coats on till your satified with the paint coverage,,,,let dry,,"over night"...get some "wetsand" paper real fine and sand plane down...all over...get some drafting tape...real fine...and place your panel lines on...make sure the panels are where you want...the best effect i have found is to spray a clear coat over the plane,,,let tack up,,then with a #11 blade pull the tape...the lines will look faded and it looks like the panels are raised.....hope this helps and good luck...if your putting panel lines on as well as the rivs,,,do your panel lines first, then do the rivs by adding some color to your mix...if there a little off...trust me...they look better....have a great day...Rod
