7.4.3 Line up the paper with the wing edge and gently stretch it over the wing smoothing out any wrinkles as you 

go.

7.4.4 Coat the top of the wing,leading edge etc with paste

7.4.5 Hold the wing in the air, turn it slowly so that the covering paper lays over the top of the wing.
   

Note:

  Try this stage before aplying the glue !

    Press the covering down with your fingers (If there are points where the paste is dry, more paste can be 

added with a brush, it will soak through the surface of the tissue)
