Default bottom fuse sheeting

Hey guys, I am currently building a .20 sized j-3 cub from great planes in kit form and i am to the point where i must sheet the bottom of the fuse. My quesion is what should i use to attach it to the fuse carcass? CA glue, wood glue, epoxy??? The directions dont specify. I was thinkin maybe thin or medium CA. Any insight?

Default bottom fuse sheeting

The bottom fuselage sheeting grain should be across the fuselage. Attaching it with medium CA has always worked well. Let some of it hang over the edge and sand it when the glue dries. The most important joint is where two pieces of sheeting join.
