It is a method of quickly "flowing" dope over silk to seal the pores without the dope "puddling" under the fabric


If you go to: www.antiquemodeler.org you will find a section of hor-to articles. One will be"Covering with silk using the maniscus method" by Ramon Alban.

I expect that if you do a Google search for "Silk dope meniscus method you may turn up some more articles.
