Default RE: life of thinned dope?

are you talking about glue?
Sorry, but I'm new to building planes. Isn't Dope like a glue/paint type thing? I'm using it as a "paint" for my Donald 4. The instructions said to cover it with, "covering", or dope. Since I'm new to this, I didn't realize the instructions really didn't "go along" with the current kit. The fuseloge, is already "covered". Its a fiberglass fuse, then it was gel coated. So I started sanding, and the realized I didn't really have to sand & cover it. I wanted to paint it anyway, so its not a "bad" mistake. But I probaly should have gone with the fabric covering. Anyway dope, to my understanding , is mainly used for covering the wings, and such with the paper, correct? That's where I get the glue part. Sorry if I sound like an idiot but like I said I'm new to this and its my first kit.
Thanks to all for the help!
