Post by: Mike Griffin on August 07, 2011, 10:19:43 AM

How long on average do you let dope gas off before you prime and paint your plane?

Thanks

Mike

Ty's advice is good, but I will only add to let it sit as long as you can stand it.  Longer is better.

Mike, what are you going to use over the dope? More dope, some automotive paint, or something like Rustoleum?

I get a couple of coats on over the weekend and let it sit all week while I have to work. Not much can get done in between anyway. And when the wife says "what's that smell", it's the old "what smell?, I don't smell anything" reply.  LL~ H^^ D>K--LOUIE --Have a happy!
