## Description

DELUXE MATERIALS.Note: Packaging may vary.

Review: Good stuff. But I learned of something better. - After searching for alternatives to old-fashioned cellulose dope for sealing and strengthening tissue coverings on model airplanes--and finding some of the ones suggested by other model builders to be unsatisfactory--I was intrigued when I stumbled upon a discussion of Eze Dope on line. My search is over. I have tried Eze Dope on a test framework (not wanting to mess up a model I spent a good deal of time constructing) and I am very happy with the results. Happy enough, in fact, that I just ordered an extra bottle to have on hand. Since Eze Dope is best applied thinned with water (the recommended proportion is 30% Eze Dope, 70% water), one container can last a while. There is an excellent article describing in detail the application of Eze Dope in the Jan-Feb 2014 issue of the British magazine AeroModeller. The article is available on line, but I was sent a pdf of it by John Bristow of Deluxe Materials (manufacturer of Eze Dope). And that's another thing: I sent Deluxe Materials a couple of questions about Eze Dope earlier today, and slightly over an hour later had an informative response from Mr. Bristow. Count me a very happy customer. ------------------------Updated 9/17/2019 After reading an article in Model Aviation, I decided to try Minwax Polycrylic (satin finish) thinned with water to 33% Polycrylic. One coat with a wide (1" brush) gave me better results than I got with two or three coats of Eze Dope. See photo. So, while Eze Dope gave me a good enough alternative to nitrated dope as a tissue sealer, Polycrylic is a decidedly better one.
Review: great product - great substitute for old fasioned nitrate and butyrate clear dope and no odor and cleans upwith water

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you also use this stuff to glue the tissue to the balsa framework?   If not, what adhesive is recommended?**
A: MY husband uses gorrella glue to glue and then uses ez dope on top of the tissue

**Q: Do you paint eze dope,or do you use colored dope ?**
A: I paint on top of dope

**Q: is this hot fuel proof?**
A: I build primarily stick and tissue.  Information on the product label states:  Dries fast to a strong,  tough non- sagging "fuel proof" and airtight finish.
Also product detail:  It is super thin and easily brushes to shrink tissue,  drying to a traditional tough "fuel proof" matte finish.  I hope this helps and good luck fellow builder.

**Q: Can i use polyfoam brush or should i use acid brush?**
A: I use a polyfoam brush with this.  Pretty sure this dope is acrylic based or a dilute white glue.

great substitute for old fasioned nitrate and butyrate clear dope and no odor and cleans upwith water

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Too easy!
*by J***R on December 28, 2023*

This is Easy. This is Dope. (This is not actually Dope. It’s actually Fake Dope, but the concept of “fake dope” raises a whole host of metaphysical questions that I don’t have the energy to confront at the moment.) Whatever it is, it works pretty well.
