PD1 - Thank you for the help ! This is exactly what I was hoping for on this thread !
I bought the sample pack from Darhma, I want to try the flat crepe part # FR45, the details on this one say it readily accepts dyes and paints. It also has a nice gloss to it and I think it would look really good. The Spook with a 96" span I'd feel more comfortable using the 8 MM.

When thinning butyrate does one have to use butyrate thinner or can acetone or denatured alcohol work ? I'm guessing you'd have to use butyrate thinner huh. If so does butyrate thinner work with nitrate dope too ? I'm also thinking a very large brush would benefit too.
Good looking planes PD1, I bet silk looks awesome in person !
