Hi, dcoquelet, I use Elmer's Glue All, a white glue. Apply the glue to the surface, and then
spread out evenly, not too thick, and then on to the other side, same way. Press them
together, smooth out the glue with your fingers and that's it. For larger pieces, best if you
can place a heavy hardback book (one or a few more would do even better) over the glued
or what we call the laminated pieces. If not in a hurry, leave it overnight. If you
want to bend it, like making the leading edge of the wing, then skip the part about
pressing with heavy books. Just bend or curl the make the leading edge and let
it dry just like that. The dampness of the glue will likely warp the paper a bit
but once it's dry, you can smooth out the part by using anything that is round
like a pen, a chopstick or a rod and even your fingers. It should do the trick.
