I've been following this tread wondering way no one has mentioned the other commonly used technique for applying cardstock or plastic wraps on models.
Couldn't agree more with Jim's method, and have used Doc's recently on one of his models with pretty far success.
Heres another method, not involving either spray glues or super thinnly applied white glues, instead good old solvent based Weldwood contact cement.
Back in the day, this was the method taught with the OLD Estes Saturn-V embossed cardstock bodywraps.
As Mark as said. Most body wraps need or in my mind should be pre-rolled a few times and dry fitted to ensure they are EXACTLY the proper size at that exact place on the tube. Folks do remember bodytube manufacturers produce to the Inside dimension, outside there is a pretty go tolerance margin
A particular tube may very well Not be exactly the same OD along the enter length. Measure and cut your wraps to the exact area they will be applied.
It is also extreamly important to have a well marked starting line within the application areas. apply a thin film of contact cement to both surfaces and allow to completely dry. Then using a sheet of wax paper between the wrap and body tube carefully align the starting edge, pulling the wax paper back only a tad to allow a single corner to touch when you have the start line and construction lines indexed. Slowly back off the wax paper while pressing the wrap down on the tube the rest of the way. Sounds complicated but it really isn't. This does not work well with cardstock models however as some of the contact cement seems to always end up outside the completed wrap edges. excess cement can be cleaned up before painting on body tubes, but not so much on per-printed paper models.
I've tired the wax paper interleaf trick with 3m 77 spary with mixed results. sometimes it does not release well from the wax paper.
About the only pics I have of this type application are of some very old 70's vacuum formed .010" styene wraps used on a recent Orion build. This is not an end all answer but another option for both cardstock and plastic body wraps.
