Default RE: Sealer for fabric

OK, when all else fails look it up... MinWax Polycrylic and others are basically
waterbased like crafters acrylic paints. What I didn't realize and am glad hear is that
a water/latex based coat can be used as the first coat on fabric. And now that I think
about it I remember spritzing water on my old tissue covered models to tighten them up.
So why couldn't you use some water based coating on fabric. I've just always used dope,
but when I had to patch a spot on an old plane few months back I couldn't believe I used
to do these things all the time in dope, but hey it was the '70s then. Dang, I had every
door and window open and was about to pass out. I love my monokote but there are
some things that just have to be done in fabric. Will have to dig into some threads
and catch up...
thx.
