The pictures below show the skinning of the front bulkhead. Since the walls will be assembled later the corners and edges need to be flat and even. The fabric is placed over the wall, half of it is folded back and glue is applied. Then it is placed back over the glue and pressed down with an iron on the lowest heat setting. This technique as also used to apply the inside fabric and the builders paper.
