Crayon.....the dope and silk covering seems more and more apealing to me. Here are my questions: Is the finished silk and dope brittle if I would land in the weeds or hit hard? If I were to put a hole in it or rip it is it a easy repair? One last question....where do you purchase the silk at to begin with? I use the Sig dope to fuel proof my models on the fire wall and the front area as in my photo attached, but I have never tried covering a model with silk and painting with the dope. OH.....another question....sorry.....do you heat the silk first then apply the dope? How about a easy basic step by step list on how you do it? Some help would appreciated. I am only familiar with Monocoat and Ultracoat and cover many Lazy Bees and Speedy Bees. With the multi colors and designs, it adds weight. Silk and dope looks better and better to me.
