If you are using ''silkspan'' you must be making quite small size models and very light weight ( just a few ounces ).
Are you using engines running on glow fuel ?
What models are you building or assembling ?
Guillows ?
We could be of more help with more information on your project(s).

Silkspan is available in various weights and can be used on quite large models. I fear that like silk and dope, silkspan and dope finishes have become something of a lost art.
When properly done nothing is more beautiful than a silk/silkspan and dope finish. The process is quite time consuming though.j
