This weekend I covered the Wakefield with tissue and sprayed it with water for the initial tissue shrink. I had to re-do a couple of panels because they weren't quite perfect, so it took a little longer than I intended. I also had to be careful as I had just 3 sheets of white tissue and this was only just enough to cover the plane.
Next step is to clean up the edges and then apply two coats 50/50 mix of cellulose thinners and cellulose dope to do the final tissue shrink.
