I use in xylene to dillute the 3m77, as advised by someone on the old
indoor group. I don't know the exact dillution, but you can dillute it
too much, it won't adhere very well if too dilute.

Just like covering flying surfaces, place the film into a frame and
place the part to be covered on the film. Place a drop of dilute glue
on the outside of the part right where the part touches the film. You
will see the glue spread out along the frame. Place another drop so
that the spreading glue just overlaps the place where the previous
glue spread. Continue around the part. Let things dry and then cut the
film away, I use a battery powered soldering iron to do this.

I find that this is easy to do and doesn't add much weight in the process.
