Trying a new glue method

Covering

Worked on finishing up freeing the aileron. There now is a 1/16" clearance all around it. Check full range of motion and I feel comfortable to start covering. Trying a new method gluing down the material I saw in a video that David Cooper sent me. Going to paint the glue on the surface first, then lay the cloth on top of it, and finally paint MEK through the material to loosen the glue.

Put the material on as the video suggested. Worked pretty well. I'll need to go back and touch up the ribs where it didn't stay glued. Shrunk the panels and put the center brackets back on. Made a patch and covered the rear bracket. Looks really good.
