I put on the paper to gain some strength, I wasn't so concerned about how it looks although I didn't want excess wrinkles. I papered some fins long ago and they came out well. The few spots on these current fins with wrinkles will be then treated with fill-n-finish like I normally do for balsa.
I don't recall a problem with moisture the last time I did papering. This time there was more wrinkle tendency than I remembered and later I thought of the idea to increase moisture content of the paper first. If I decide to try this again I'll experiment first.
I know more than a little about bending stresses and the properties of wood. I might have to do a test to see if I can quantify what it really does.
