I got you covered






This past weekend my Dad and his main squeeze Gini came by to help Allison (my main squeeze) and I stretch the paper over the main wing sections. It is a process that goes pretty easily when you have a few people. The process goes like this. My dad applied glue to the wing ribs, Gini and Allison wet the center of each piece of paper with a roller leaving the edges that get glued in place dry. Next they applied glue to the edges and when the glue gets a little tacky I place them on the wing ribs, making sure the seams are smooth. The cool thing is by wetting the paper down the middle it expands letting you glue it down and when it dries it shrinks giving you a nice tight wing covering.
