Have used saliva in past, supercharged w/sugary drink if necessary.

With thicker film, dots of Glue Stick applied w/toothpick every 1/2" to 1" then saliva.

Use the old Charlie Sotich method:
Flat surface, Newspaper, Wrinkle & flatten film, dry frame on film, block up LE til TE is tangent, add Glue Stick if used, saliva, let dry, glue ribs while rolling to LE, attach to LE, Dry, Trim.

Most films stick better to themselves than to wood, so w/experiment you may come out better wrapping outline w/~1/8" film on film. In that case infinitesimal water, saliva or glue Stick should work.

Good luck,

Subject: [Indoor_Construction] Another question: covering glue


















 



  


    
      
      
      My other question is about the covering glue. So far I have been

spraying 3M - 77 straight out of the can, but after a while the glue

starts to come out in bigger lumps, and also some fine threads. No good.

Last year I tried diluting the glue into xylene and then brushing on the

structure, but that was a no-go, building up horrendous amounts of

weight before there was any stickiness. Obviously the glue went into the

wood.



I've heard (in this group) that if the frame is put onto the film and

then dilute glue is brushed onto the seam, the glue will keep to the

foil and not soak into the wood. So that would be one option. But I'd

rather add the glue onto the frame first. I wonder if it would be

possible to use an airbrush to spray diluted glue onto structures?

Assuming that the spray can has started misbehaving as glue has become

too thick in the can?
