Thought I would throw this out there. I have a Buddy who comes over about every weekend to build (and sometimes fly). He is building a Brodak Warbird modified to a P-47 w/bubble canopy from plans and his drawings. He flew combat for a long time, but hasn't had a chance to fly much stunt, or build stunt planes.
When it came time to apply the LE sheeting, I wet them with some diluted Windex for him and had him pin them down on the wing until they dried. Then he white glued everything down. This was, in essence, "molding" the sheeting. It goes on so much easier and gives less chance of inducing a warp. He had never done it that way, so I guess it isn't that widespread an activity. (??) I have been doing it for a long time.
What ya think??
