I have never used kicker as a general rule. Medium CA is fast enough for me. When I glue, the wood isn't dripping wet but it is very damp, I only spray the outside. Rubber bands do tend to dent the wood so if you come up with something wider like Gene mentioned and it works for you then you would be better off. I have only used the ammonia and water so I can't coment on the other brews. Ugly I can take, just watch the old jokes!!! I showed the photo with me in it to show the planes size and to show that you can sheet a round fuse without too much trouble, even with thicker wood. As shown, that plane was boned up for use with a 1.20 four stroke, after the photo was taken I added hard wood stringers from the fire wall to behind the cockpit because I went with a gas 2.4 Brison so there was a need for some added strength. I love sheeting and like the looks of a plane that has been sheeted, just something about the way they come out so smooth. Maybe I'm just silly but I like to glass them too, the Sukhoi was just sheeted and covered though.
