When I have covered using thinned rubber cement I have always applied the first coat which usually soaks into the wood, then apply a second coat & while still wet apply the covering. I only apply cement to the outline of the structure & the dihedral joints.

For those who use thinned rubber cement for covering. Can you get by
using only 1 coating of cement on the surfaces or are multiple coats
necessary (I've always used 2 or 3 coats with the contact cement that I
formerly used)? Also, do you coat all ribs or just at the tips and
dihedral joints. I'm looking to save a bit of weight on some new planes.
