Raining cats and dogs here. Another dreary weekend in the making.

I always covered my wings with what came in the kit. Did it just like you said, wet it down, dope the bare bones and lay it on, pulling it tight all around. My wings always came out good. My paint jobs were never "slick" like some of the pics I've seen, But at that time I was just trying to seal the sllkspan, and that was it.

What is Brodak dope? Butyrate, nitrate, or something else? About how much should I get, I want to have enough for a couple of jobs. Pint, quart, gallon, or barrel? Will it store okay for a while? And I will need some thinner too, right?

I don't think any of the LHS's in Lexington carry it, or maybe I never really looked.

A roll of Ultrakote is 12 bucks and will do a wing with some left over. I'll check it out at Brodak's website.
