I guess you have to order them unless you live near a supplier?

Well I just saw that Walgreens has Castor Oil. I guess it's the same thing that you can drink? I even saw on one site where it will promote labor (pregnancy) so I guess it won't hurt my 4 strokes.

I use Klotz  Benol castor from Tower. There are other suppliers as well as klotz own website. Dope is available from Sig, Brodak, etc.

Sig has both, in pint/quart/gallon sizes.

In 5/55 gal type quantity, nitrate dope is available from Aircraft Spruce. They were selling Randolph and Certified Products brands the last time I check. Both Randolph and Certified Products produce a tautening nitrate as well as the non-tautening that Sig sells. The R/CP nitrate can be had with a slight tint as well as perfectly clear too. The tint is nice if you're trying to judge coverage.

The SIG items are stocked and sold through Hobby Town and Hobby People shops too.
