I stick it down dry and then mist.
Anyway after 3 coats of dope and a tidy up, you end up with this.
Ready for paint.

Just to muddy the water!
Aliphatic glue has it's place, it's sandable and not so hard (brittle) as superglue. When I'm sheeting wings I alternate between Cyano and Aliphatic, so you get speed and strength. It also doen't stink like Cyano.

This is the way I sand anything that needs a rounded edge.
I always use 'wet&dry' for sanding, you can get 4 strips to a sheet.
hold the wing, or whatever, between your knees, hold each side of the paper with your thumbs and pull down each side alternately. Works like a charm.
