from the monico and want to use part on the bus how do you use skikaflex ? do you put it on
the outside of the ribs or put it on the inside [ sides of ribs and skin ] ?? does it stick right away
  or do you have time play with it  need help with this thanks

Outside of the ribs. Cut a v shape notch in the plastic tip to make a bead. We put 2 beads on each beam. It sticks immediately, no time for play. We did the skin on ours this way worked out good.

One inch bead will hold 600 lbs of tinsle strength. We made full length beads.
