Guys: Due to a serious headache problem traditional aircraft dopes are out of the picture. Would anyone have thoughts/comments on whether or not I could use clear water-base MinWax PolyC to seal the wood framework on my plan build, electric powered, Midwest Tri-Squire, and also use the PolyC to attach the silk and seal the weave. This would allow me to avoid the fumes of traditional model dope and then I'd paint the trim on with something like Warbird colors water-base paint. Thanks!
Soft landings.

Hey Squeakalong, don't Hi-Jack the OPs thread. [X(] Try Mod-Podge (Michaels or other Craft stores). Do a search in Kit building or Tips and Techniques for it or ask in a new thread. Use 6 or more coats of Polyc to fill the weave and then prime and paint. All water-based and no fumes.
