Many Thanks for your interest in my work and the building log of the HMS Granado
Yes - when the pads are also fixed to the paper, so the small necessary adjustments / movements during positioning of the parts are going easier, when the pads are not moving. Afterwards the rubber cement and rest of paper can be removed from the wood easily by rubbing with the fingertips.
Important is, that the thickness of the glue shall not be too much , so some pressure is necessary to reduce the thickness. the pad plus the two layers of fixogum-rubber cement should be the 1mm thick
I try to show this sandwich in the small sketch (without scale)

red are the two wooden frame elements, yellow between is wood glue
under it in green fixgum layer - in blue the pad and under it in green the base layer of fixogum, orange is the drawing
so the two green fixogum layers plus the blue pad should have a thickness of 1mm or 2mm
BTW: at the frame elements I marked in orange the later beveling, which are marked with a laser mark on the farme elements
I am using a wood glue, called "Ponal Express" which is fix already after some minutes, so during the installation with fresh glue I press them with the fingers down, with this the thickness of wood glue between the two wooden parts is reduces as much as possible. and usually the glue is starting already to get adhesive.
In the beginning with the first frames I put some small iron elements / cubes on top, slightly probelematic, because you have on top of the frame also the steps by 1 or 2mm - later on with other frames I did not put any weights on top - the same result.......
So I guess it should be tried, because it will depend on the glue you use....
I can remove the finished frmaes already after 5 to 10 minutes from the drawing
