Default RE: L/E sheeting glueing

I used to build with CA glues, and your problem was just one of many why I quit using it. I build with Elmer's Carpenter's glue now and I feel that my building ability has improved a lot just by not using the CA anymore. If you use the wood glue like I do it's fairly easy to do sheeting such as this. Apply the glue to the leading edge where the sheeting will be, and along all the ribs, spars, or other wing members that will touch the sheeting. Place the sheeting against the leading edge and push some pins through the sheeting into the leading edge so that it is held in place. Then use weights (books, sand bags, or anything that is heavy enough) to hold down the sheeting until the glue dries.

Hope this helps
