tissue covering
 

Is there an adhesive that can be applied to a rubber-band power airplane tissue covering that can be purchased locally at my Carr Hardware store? That is cheap, strong, but light. And easy to apply?

I don't know if it is "approved" or whatever....

but..Umm.. I just use a glue stick found at any craft store or even drug store or grocery store...

I heard you could water down Elmers Glue or Glue-All and apply that. Is that rue? How do you shrink tight the tissue after applying?

RE: tissue covering
 

I just tack it down with stick glue and then GENTLY mist it with water...
and then let it dry.

there are other ways I'm sure, but that works for me
