Default RE: Sheeting Foam Wings question

Use lots of weight. A previous post says to use 40 pounds. I try to get at least 2 pounds per square inch. So a 10 x 40 inch wing would have 400 square inches assuming it is built in one piece. This would need 800 pounds of weight. I have since gone to a vacuum system which will deliver this much pressure without handling all the weights. I use polyurethane glue (gorilla glue or elmers polyurethane wood glue (formerly called Elmers Probond).
