Default How to dope nylon cloth

Silly question time;

What is the best procedure to cover a beech veneered foam core wing with nylon and dope?

Anybody any idea's where I might download this information.

I don't have any links for you, but I have done quite a bit of cloth (and tissue) and dope work. My main concern is the foam core. I know it's a beech veneer, but I'd still worry about the solvents working their way through to the foam. You might consider one of the new water based polyurethanes rather than dope. Dope is wonderful stuff though...

Tony, A quick search turned up a product called "aquathane" from Everlac. I'm sure some other UK member will make a suggestion. You should find several suitable products at the local DIY home center.

Good luck!
