  • Can you use nitrate dope on fabric?
  • Do not experiment with your own techniques or mix fabric covering systems. As an example, do not use Grade A tapes on Ceconite fabric or nitrate dope on Poly-Fiber fabric. These are common practices that cause problems. If you are covering a production aircraft, you must strictly follow the fabric process instruction manual.
  • Can nitrate dope be used on Ceconite fabric?
  • As an example, do not use Grade A tapes on Ceconite fabric or nitrate dope on Poly-Fiber fabric. These are common practices that cause problems. If you are covering a production aircraft, you must strictly follow the fabric process instruction manual. A production airplane requires a covering process that has been approved by the FAA.
  • Can I use nitrate & butyrate dope on Poly-Fiber?
  • As an example, Poly-Fiber coatings are not compatible with nitrate and butyrate dopes. If you put Poly-Brush (the first chemical coat on the Poly-Fiber process) on fabric as your first coat of chemical and then switch to nitrate dope for subsequent coats you will have problems in the form of cracking and peeling.
  • Can you finish a trophy-winning airplane with fabric covering?
  • Rushing through the fabric covering stage is not conducive to completing a trophy-winning airplane. Fabric covering involves the spraying of several coats of chemicals. Each coat must thoroughly dry before the next one can be applied. A good rule of thumb is to do one coat in the morning followed by one coat in the afternoon.
  • Can a butyrate dope surface be repaired?
  • Butyrate dope surfaces are fairly easy to repair, as you will discover, and the final topcoat of butyrate dope will allow you to blend in the color of the repair to the point that it is barely visible. Before we begin, remember that if you own an amateur-built airplane, you can legally repair it-fabric damage included.
