Step 2Preperation
To begin you need to prep the model for covering. Use a sanding block with 220 grit sand paper, smooth out all of the surfaces of the model that well contact the covering. Remove glue build up and any bits of wax paper that might have stuck to the model when building it.
Also you well need to determine which way the grain of your tissue is going. To do this you simply tear the corner of the sheet of tissue in both directions. The tissue well tear cleanly in the direction of the grain, usually length wise. This is important because the tissue well shrink perpendicularly to the grain and if the grain is not going the right direction on curved surfaces you well never be able to remove all of the wrinkles.
