Default Film Covering Technique

I don't remember that article but; I have found that any of the alphatic resin glues such as Titebond, Titebond II, most carpenter glues all make a very good base for the films. Just put on as thin a coat as you can, let it dry and then iron on the covering. I also found this is a very good way to make covering stick on old fuel soaked wood. Just get all the oil out you can then coat with alphatic glue, let it dry and then iron on the covering. You can also put your cap strips on this way, just coat the rib dedges with alphatic glue, let it dry then iron on the wooden cap strips. If the cap strips are thicker than 1/16 inch it will take a very hot iron though.
