G'day Mike,

When sealing the balsa grain before glassing or applying epoxy, I note that you use either hairspray and or Balsarite. What are your thoughts on using Dope to seal the grain instead? Obviously it can't come into direct contact with the foam otherwise it would melt away... lol [:-]

Yourself and Dean speak of thinning the resin with acetone anyway when glassing wings and fuses so I would presume dope is fine to use. It's also more readily available here in Australia too....

Cheers
Jason.
