some tips on silkspan and dope process please!!!
Hi guys,
Does anybody out there know how to use silkspan and dope method to cover an old timer?
Can you guys be very specific about this process?
(1) What kind of dope should I use over the balsa frame before applying silkspan? And how many coats?
(2) Any sanding once the dope dries?
(3) Should I wet the silkspan first before draping over the balsa frame?
(4) What dope (or glue) should I use to attach the silkspan over balsa?
(5) What kind of dope should I brush on silkspan once it dries for shrinkage?
Thanks a bunch.
