Default Dope

Hello what I have done


#1 Nitrate it sticks better (full strength)

#2 Light sand with the same grit you finnish sanded with after dope is dry

#3 Wet and set between two clean towels , good and damp is best it will help to conform to curves better.

#3A Mist it so it does not dry out while doping it down.

#4 Over sheeting ? same as the open framing But use added coats for smooooooooooooooth finnish you'll be suprised how nice it works.

# 5 Silk span will shrink by itself tight! if you did your part just snug it around the framing while attaching

#6 What wrbirch said


# 7 Nitrate Dope is not fuel proof

#8 Buterate Dope is fuel proof

#9 Buterate OVER Nitrate is Good

#10 Nitrate over Buterate is Bad
