I've put SIG over Brodak and Brodak over SIG and the dope never knew the difference.  I recently shot some old SIG dope using lacquer thinner from Home Depot that worked beautifully.  I was actually a bit surprised, but it thinned and shot wonderfully.

BRODAK DOPE IS NON-TAUTINING SO IT DOESNT SHRINK COVERING REAL GOOD..THATS WHY I USED SIG SUPER COAT  TO SHRINK THE SILK ON MINE VERSES THE BRODAK CLEAR
