She then brushes over the fabric with the 50/50. This activates the painted on glue and really gets a good soak through the fabric....
    Yes! I've seen her videos too (I watched a lot of videos before trying this. Which might be part of the problem ). I re-watched some of her videos today, slowed down by half, and it does look like she gets good penetration of the glue in the fabric. I had a problem with that in the first go but maybe I needed to thin it just a bit more, so I may try it that way.

    I've updated the document a bit, and gave it a "Rev A". I'll be using it as a sort of checklist to go through as I do the wings. Maybe someone else might get some use out of it!
