Oy, I messed up with the spray adhesive. Used around 0.02 to 0.03. Covered wing came in at 0.23.
But thanks to you guys, the cover job is much nicer than before. Will post pic later. The key for me was *vaseline* and adjusting the film once it is on the covering cradle. Previously, I used stick glue and did not adjust the film once on the cradle. Don't know what I was thinking.
Next wing will use Mark's adhesive method. Did not have the time today.
