Pat,

We are nearing completion of our Minnow.

Question: How did you manage to put 8 coats of Nitrate Dope on that Minnow without vomiting, or burninig your eyes out?

The Keel was the hardest part.
No, The balsa covering was the hardest part
No, The Prop Shafts were the hardest part
No, The Counter-rotating props were the hardest part

Now the Nitrate Dope is certainly the most difficult portion of this exercise.............

We love your SS Minnow. Great work on your part.

However, 8 coats of Nitrate Dope was one of the most amazing things you have done with the Minnow!

Dont Give me any trouble "The Dick" sent me.

Sincerely,
Robert & Jim
