Different is sometimes good. I run a strip of covering around the LE and tips of my controls then hinge them. I cover the bottom of my wings and stab in one sheet and close up the gap then do the same to the top so there are no hinge gaps at all except on the rudder. Sometimes I do that the same way too.
Even on planes that don't need the gaps sealed I do it just for the clean up after A day at the field.
No snow here either!!
