To cover with tissue provided in kit, use a 50/50% mixture of white glue (for example Titebond Original Wood Glue) and water to adhere the tissue onto the framework.
- Sand the framework very well!
- Mix your "glue mixture" out of 50% water & 50% White glue
- Cut a piece of tissue a bit oversized for the piece you are covering (lets say the rudder in this case)
- Brush on some glue mixture down around the perimeter of the rudder structure
- Lay your tissue down and smooth it out as much as you can by pulling a bit and smoothing with your fingers
- Brush ANOTHER coat of glue mixture THRU the tissue (around the perimeter) to assure a good bond
- Let the glue dry and then trim off excess tissue with sharp razor blade or model knife
- Repeat for other side of rudder - overlapping tissue slightly!
- When the part is all done, dry and trimmed, you can mount it on your plane.
- When mounted, a fine mist spray of water will help shrink the tissue a bit and take out any wrinkles, making it nice and taut for flying.
