For anyone interested in the paper piecing Dave's other post referred to, and couldn't find the currency conversion, I simply added something to the cart and the site magically converted it to U.S. currency, both in the cart and on the product page I selected from.  It was $22.68 for 10 meters.  I didn't complete the purchase, so I don't know what shipping would be.  I was just exploring for now to find out how much it cost.

How much did you reduce the dope, and what brand of thinner did you use?

I PUT 3 COATS OF 70% THINNED BUTYRATE DOPE ON THE WOOD..I THEN USED THE SAME DOPE TO ATTACH THE SILK SPAN WET...IT DIDNT WANT TO PENETRATE THE SILKSPAN VERY GOOD  AFTER IT DRIED I COATED IT WITH 60% THINNED BUTYRATE DOPE ALL BRODAK BRAND IT WAS HARD AS A ROCK AND VERY HARD TO SAND...IT SEEMED IT WAS MORE A POLYESTER COVERING THAN SILKSPAN..NOTHING LIKE THE SIG STUFF I HAD
