Is balsarite nitrate dope?
RE: Balsariteing to get covering to stick to your cheeks...
Wow, I don't seem to have sticking problems on any of the places where I really stretch the covering (like the cheek cowls and wingtips).
I don't know how much difference it makes, but I usually sand those parts to at least 360 grit (sometimes to 600) and blow out the dust -- though I suspect that a tack rag is a better idea. How do you do your sanding etc. before you cover?
