7) Spray the part with a fine mist of water on both
sides, then use the spacers that you ‘sticky taped’
to hold the edge of the part off the board. Use
pins set at an angle to hold it flat until it dries.
Holding the part down in this way helps prevent
warps. Note the tissue is very delicate when it
is wet, so handle the part at the edges and with
care so that you don’t damage it.
8) The method for the tail plane is the same.
THE WINGS
1) Cover the underside of the wings with three
pieces of tissue, one for the main wing section,
and one for each wing tip panel. As with the fin/
rudder and tail plane, use a glue stick to attach
the tissue at the outlines only, then seal the
edges and joints with 50/50 thinned PVA to
ensure that it is well attached. At tissue to tissue
joints brush the thinned PVA through the top
layer tissue, and gently rub the joint with a damp
finger to ensure a good joint.
2) Cover the top of the wings in a similar manner.
This time they are covered with five pieces, one
for the main wing section, and two for each wing
tip panel. The pieces for the wing tip panel go
from the root rib up to the tip rib and from the tip
rib to the wing tip itself.
3) Allow the glue to go off for a few hours or
preferably overnight and then shrink the main
wing section (top and bottom). Pin or weight
down the outline with spacers underneath as you
did for the fin, rudder and tail plane until fully dry.
Then shrink each wing tip panel one at a time
using the same method.
