Default RE: Sealing and Painting Balsa

Interesting thread in that none of us have investigated or found a replacement for the 100 year old nitrate/byuterate doping processes. Esp. in light that the products seem to be going away.

I wonder what the 1:1 scale ceconite community uses to seal and fill in wood grain? Then again more than half of the 1:1 ceconite community refuses to follow ceconites STC'd processes and use the appropriate plastic "dopes" and they resort back to the specifically warned not to use on ceconite nitrates and byuterates.

Then what do the wood working and nautical boat building communities use?
