Do you mean the dowels? If you are, on my 60 i just put a strip of covering between the dowels and then covered the top and bottom of the wing, if theres a little wood showing near the dowels is ok that parts gonna be inside the fuse or you can patch it up with scraps. When I cover I like to use trial and error.

Try two things: Use little pieces of covering, and cover it bit by bit, or do your best, and seal it from fuel with some epoxy, or paint.
Give us a little more info, not sure exactly what you mean. You mean the plywood? The step in the ply, or?

This gets a little tricky, but it's not hard. You want to do it in pieces. Here are some pics that will save me a lot of typing.
