I always thought that lighter fluid contained some sort of oil. Recently I poured a puddle of Zippo Premium Lighter Fluid onto the weighing pan of my milligram scale. After awhile the scale was back to zero. I think that this brand is close to pure naphtha. To be safe I went to Ace Hardware and bought a quart of VP&P Naphtha Pure - which I hope is pure naphtha.

I've read Mark's article before and have used his 3M77 and naptha mixture to reattach loose film to the wing spar. But I did not appreciate it fully! (He should attach a photo of his covered wing.) I've also used your method to tighten up film at the dihedral joint.
On "applying" adhesive to the film and relying on the wicking action of wood/film, how do you avoid applying too much adhesive? (I was thinking that most of the mixture evaporates.) When using the "spray" method, I am always paranoid about applying too much.
