Need some dope thinner for the Sig Dope I use. I'm looking at $41.50 for 2 quarts shipped from Sig. Is this a good price, are there other options?

Thanks,
MM

This is what I have always used. And its only about 20 bucks a gallon at your local auto paint store.

3602s works with Brodak paints. Do not try to use one in the other because it will gum the paint up.

I've used Dupont 3608S and 3602S with Sig, Randolph, and Certified...No issues. 3602S is slower drying, prevents blushing on hot humid days in the Southeast.

But, yes, I'd check it out...Times and products do change.

20.00 a quart for SiG is about as good as it gets, regrettably.  I vote for trying to track down 3608S for a more inexpensive solution.  Here in tidewater VA its about 30.00 a gallon, but that beats any other options I have.
