Butyrate dope in UK?

Do you think this would be suitable for aeromodelling?

Cannot see any reason why not.
Obviously from the list of qty's available these are meant for the full scale airplane market, but dope is dope. May have to be thinned.
I definately would give it a try.

I have been using Randolph's dope here in the States for 30 years or so with no problems. It is also for the full size aircraft market. I can't see any reason not to try it.

As mentioned, Butyrate is Butyrate. I noticed their clear is all non-taughtening. I would definitely ask if it has a tint in it, which is often done in the real airplane world. They do not intend to put on a clear top coat and often tint it so as not to confuse it with the taughtening variety.

Non-taughtening is better for our use except for initial coats on covering such as silkspan or silk/nylon. They do have nitrate available for that which, again, is what is generally used in the real world. Some use it in the modeling world as well, but I, personally, have never liked it.

Do you deal with Paul Winter at PS Aeroproducts, he keeps the Brodak dope, only trouble is that carriage is almost as much as the dope, he is in Middlesex, a bit too far to go from Southampton.

Did you get to run those engines yet?

Yes I do know Paul.

If the above leads nowhere I'll get some fromhim and pick it up at a stunt meet.
