Has anyone posting in this thread tried the ''meniscus method'' of dope application to silk? It works quite well with a bit of practice.

Have you used that method on curved surfaces and on coumpond curved surfaces ?

Zor

Yes, worked like a charm. Curved surfaces make no diference as ite silk is alredy in place, adhered and shrunk when the dope is applied. I have tried the method using both toilet paper and foam brushes.

Note that I have used it only with clear dope to produce translucent finishes.
