*But* remember Randy Butyrate over Nitrate is OK. Put Nitrate over Butyrate
and you'll be sorry :-)

I was looking through supplies for "real" aircraft and found
clear dope for $29.30 a gallon. That certainly beats over
$5 for 3.5 oz at the LHS. I remember going to a local
airport as a kid to buy dope by the gallon. We used to add
talc to make a sanding sealer, as well as using the clear.
The dope comes in two types: butyrate and nitrate. Does
any one know which type is used for models?
Both.
Nitrate first to attach & stretch covering.
Butyrate second to make the covering fuel proof.

Hmm... I
wonder if I could use the alcohol dissolved analine dyes
from my wood shop to color it ...
Yes. I had dyes like that when I was a kid.
Never used them--just had read an article and got
them from a friend's father. Circa 1965.
