DON'T USE NITRATE. The reason we use nitrate is because the Butyrate will not bond to polyester fabric. Hence, we try to achieve that bond with Nitrate then sneak up on the bond with butyrate. If you're only using silk, silkspan, wraping paper, or any fabric other than polyester, only use Butyrate.

Beware if you order flammables from aircraft supply companies, ask if they intend to charge you a HAZMAT fee in addition to the shipping costs. That could more than double the costs of your paints.

Dope, Tautening and Non-tautening, is available from F&M Enterprises ( [email protected] ) with no HAZMAT fee for shipping. It is usually shipped within 24 hours of receiving the order.
