Don't know about "recommended", but I use a procedure modeled after the old microfilm patching method:

- Sandwich a piece of film between two sheets of newspaper
- Brush some adhesive around the area to be patched (do this before you cut the patch, because it will change the size and shape of the hole/tear)
- Cut the newspaper/film/newpaper into an appropriately sized patch
- Remove one piece of newspaper (microfilm used to stick to the remaining piece nicely - plastic film doesn't as well)
- Stick the patch over the hole/tear. It is easiest to position it properly if you turn the wing over and apply the patch on the opposite side.
- Remove the remaining piece of newspaper
