I've published my CP method somewhere but I can't find it now. I put the
paper between two flat cloth towels and iron it with a steam iron until
the whole sandwich is nice and smooth and slightly damp. Then I turn off
the steam and continue ironing until everything is dry. A few minutes
for the paper to cool and it's ready to use. I put it on with thinned
Duco by sticking down small spots and adjusting the paper as necessary
to get it smooth. (smooth?? CP????). I fill in between the first spots
until the whole piece is glued.

My last wing took at least an hour to cover. Have I mentioned how much I
hate CP?
