I continue to be stunned by how much finesse and technique has drained from my brain. This feels like a first build!
I'm working on the right-wing and need to glue on the top trailing edge sheet (1.5" wide). How do I do this? The config is such that I can't simply pin it into place and use thin CA. I don't really even want to rely on pinning since that portion of the wing structure must be straight with a consistent glue bond.
My inclination is to do some variation of spreading some adhesive over the ribs a 1/2" wide triangular trailing edge piece, set the sheeting into place, and weight the entire surface down in some fashion.
Assuming this is the best way to go, what adhesive to use, and how to weight down the sheeting--basically applying uniform compression to the entire surface?
I could use thick CA which should supply adequate working time, or possibly Titebond (or similar). For weighting ( compression application), I could use lead shot filled bags, or angle aluminum or some variation.
My primary problem is that I forget the characteristics of glues like thick CA or Titebond in such an application. Experimentation may be in order to learn the behaviors. I may have no choice on that but thought I would post this problem anyway. Dave
