Aircraft Spruce & Specialty co.

Just recieved my catalog from this company today, and there are alot of items that would be of interest to the model airplane builder.
Dope, Aeropoxy Light, tools, and on and on. If you do not have this catalog, you owe it to yourself to visit their web site and order one on-line. And the best part IT IS FREE...

Thanks for the tip.
I ordered two of them (FREE).
If one of our Canadian brothers want one let me know.
The company charges $8.00 for Canadian residents, I'll only charge the exact shipping costs as media mail, (Slow but cheap).

Yep, they DO have a lot of things. Their primary market is for full-size home-built aircraft though there are quite a few things most any model airplaner would/could need. The prices seem to be 'in line'; shipping, as usual, is a bit costly though.

Keith, I have been using Randolph dope for years, both professionally on full-scale airplanes and on my models. I agree that the prices from Aircraft Spruce are right, and Randolph offers a huge variety of colors along with nitrate, butyrate (both varieties in tautening and non-tautening)clears and thinners, retarders, and aluminum paste for making silver. Aircraft Spruce carries a huge stock of Randolph products, and they do ship in a timely fashion.

Randolph is well-pigmented and sprays out beautifully. The only caveat I would add is that it is not nearly as fuel resistant as Sig, so after putting on the color with Randolph I use Sig light-coat butyrate for the top coats of clear.

Randolph dope is fully compatible with Sig dopes, and I use the thinners interchangeably, and mix the dopes with each other as needed.

It's not easy for me to get Randolph products since I have to drive about 20 minutes to get to Aircraft Spruce & Specialty here in So. Cal., but what the heck, it's worth it.
