Default RE: What glue for sheeting???

sheeted the top of my P-47 wing with tite bond what a pain in the rear, thick or med CA works well for me.
after sheeting one side I had to go back and reglue a bunch of areas.
the other side came out perfect using med. CA all the compound curves came out perfect unlike the other side which was a mess all distorted and full of pin holes a learning experience tite bond is a great adhesive, I am not so sure for where you need fast tack and a solid grab like sheeting a wing.
if you are planking a fuse then your better off using tite bond/wt.glue where you have to sand alot, CA doesn't sand unless you break out the heavy grit paper.
its about building style I would think.
