A couple of months ago (can't remember whether it was April or May) I went to the Aircraft Spruce site to order Certified dope and it said it was going to be available the next month.  I figured -- oh, supply chain issues, bummer, I can wait.

I just checked -- neither Aircraft Spruce nor Wicks lists it at all.

Does anyone know what's going on here, beyond rumors?  Who is/was making Certified, and have they announced their intentions vis-a-vis making more?

Thanks Dennis -- that sounds very un-rumor-like.  My decision at this point is do I buy Randolph now, or scrape the bottom of the barrel of the clear dope I have while waiting to see if Certified would appear.

It sounds like I should wait and see, but be mentally prepared to get a bunch of Randolph clear in the event that nothing happens.

My suspicion is that you are likely to be waiting a while before Certified dope is available again. Socomore's acquisition announcement goes back to September 2021...

I received an email today from Socomore's Customer Service North America regarding Certified Butyrate Dope. This is the response from Socomore:

The product was discontinued... We do not have any alternative or replacements.
