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
