Gray Beard-
Brian, how much heat are you using on the iron when you are gluing down the sheeting??
Today I turned it up to 350 degrees- which may or may not have affected the process to my dismay. I'll have to do this a couple times to find out for sure.

330 degrees works fine.

I don't know the 110+ degree heat will effect the glue adversly. I suppose if exposed to the direct sun in the heat it may.

It takes a lot of heat to activate the glue. The key is to let it dry enough so it is tacky- not wet. When the two surfaces meet it acts just like contact cement. Then hit the joints with the iron. Works great!

Brian - isn't that about the prettiest wing you've ever seen?
It sure is. It is unique!
