Default joining wings

I use a combination of several of the tips already given. I use epoxy with plastic bags on the wings taped into position, but I also use non-sterile latex exam gloves. They are perfect for this application as I can get as messy as needed while fully coating the wing and cleaning up. If I get too much epoxy on the gloves, I simply pull em off and put on another pair. Once clean to my satisfaction, I tape over the joint and wait about 30 min. Then I come and do the light cleanup work that is under the tape using denatured alcohol.

Whenever I do any glueing, I use the latex gloves, be it epoxy, CA, aliphatic, etc. I never have to worry about glue on the hands again.
