240111 Sealing Tissue with Eze Dope 

Thank you for this video. I've tried Eze Dope in the past and not always with great success but the tip of holding the part at an angle and waiting for it to air dry before setting down is very useful. Do you use Eze Dope on all your models?

I remember when it came out everyone was suspecting thinned PVA, etc. Not sure but I've considered some of the waterborne poly I've used on hardwoods. I do have some older EZ Dope but used it only once. I can't exactly remember which model I used it on but remember I wasn't impressed with it. I'm sure I was biased against a "new and improved" product that is likely some other product thinned or rebadged and that threatened good old "dope"(not that I used that exclusively). I'm sure it just behaved in a way I was not used to and is fine. I, too, like Krylon but nothing is like real nitrocellulose dope. With about anything I've use, the morning dew on the grass stains any printed tissue and sags all the unprinted tissue. I'd like to try more printed tissue but won't invest in another printer unless I knew the inks were waterproof(and only a few expensive brand-name inks claim that). Not a killer problem and not really an old school problem but annoying. Also, I guess I have never actually applied 3 coats of anything. I know subsequent coats go on lighter but 3 coats sure seams heavy. Just opinion without any real testing but lightness is king to me(and to a fault sometimes). Great info and sorry to rant. Thanks!

0:12 Dilute 70% with water, do you mean 7 parts water and 10 parts Eze Dope?
