Wing walk ply question.

My plans don't give a lot of detail about my wing walk but it's for a
truss
rib mostly wood wing. The walk is supposed to go from the front spar to
the
trailing edge and should be 1/4 ply. my question is will a piece of 1/4
ply
bend around the curvature of the wing (Clark Y) or should I laminate, say,
two pieces of 1/8 ply? If I were to laminate, what would the best way of
ensuring i got decent contact between the top and bottom surfaces?
The designer should know, if it has been built before. I would think that
you would trust him, if you are trusting him for your life on the rest of
the design.
That small bend should not be a problem. If you do laminate, use a 1/8th
inch notched trowel to spread adhesive, place the two together firmly on a
flat surface using another thicker flat surface on top to apply some
pressure, then wiggle the two pieces back and forth a little. Apply the two
pieces at one time without taking apart again.
