Best practice for drying tissue
What works best? Do i add alcohol? Do i use a heat gun? Do i just wet it with an atomizer with only water and just have patience and let it dry naturally? which method reduces the potential of warping?

Light mist with atomizer, then let it dry. If it is warped after drying, you can block or pin it in place and mist again, and again let it dry. I had a Corsair vertical stabilizer and rudder I had to do this to three times before it would stay flat. Be patient.

Re: Best practice for drying tissue
I am having issues with the fuselage and keeping the tissue flat around curves. if there are wrinkles even after drying, is there anything i can do short of cutting out the bad part and putting new tissue down?

After it dries, what is the best method for durability? This is for "show and not go"

"air dry" at its own pace or use a "heat gun" on low.
Would drying it too fast cause the tissue to tear?
