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.

I also have used this technique with white glue. I don't like using the organic solvent spray glue. I recommend putting same wax paper between the glued laminated sheets and the "press book" just in case some white glue seeps out from the edges.
