Yeah, That's kinda what I'm going through right now. I'm doing more flying than the plane. I'm experienting with different ways of applying the covering and have come up with a good method. Use the stick glue after a couple of coats of dope and sanding, then use the 50/50 dope thinner works pretty good. You still have to do something about the fumes but it's alot less of a problem with gettin th tissue paper to do what you want,in otherwords it stays down and where you want it and I don't think the dope has any adverse affects on the glue, it seems to be working out alright so far. I have the bottom of the plane left to cover and then one more coat at least of dope and then I'll think about painting it.
