Brodak Clear Dope & Thinners

Dare Design is now stocking what we believe is the very best quality dope available in the hobby industry... Brodak!  The clear Nitrate and Butyrate Dope is so thick it must be thinned.  We also offer the thinners for both products.

These products are ONLY available for shipping in the Continental U.S.  Shipping is always $6.00 per order (not per item). 

 

Nitrate Dope is used for to apply and seal your tissue covering... it seals the pores on covering tissue to model airplane wings, etc, and to give your model a better gloss.  You brush the Nitrate on the wood surfaces, then apply the covering; it acts like a glue. After that has dried, you would trim off all the excess covering and then brush on several coats of Nitrate dope over the entire covered surfaces of the model. This "shrinks" and tightens the covering, removing all (or most all) of the wrinkles to make it very smooth. If you power the model with an electric or rubber motor, or never fly the model (static display), you need do nothing more.

Butyrate Dope (bu'-ter-ate) is used only if the model is to have a fuel (called glow fuel, sometimes nitro fuel) powered motor unit.  You need it only if flying your model airplane with an internal combustion engine.  Butyrate is applied over Nitrate Clear Dope.  It should only be thinned with Butyrate Thinner.

Wet fuel will soak the covering material and the balsa wood. You must protect all the surfaces from fuel penetration. You would brush-on several coats of the Butyrate Dope over the Nitrate you've previously applied. The Butyrate Dope will now make the entire airplane "fuelproof".  The fuel residue that will eventually coat the surfaces of the plane when the engine is running (heavy droplets come out the exhaust of the engine), will not penetrate the covering and soak the covering and balsa wood, which would quickly ruin the model.
