Title: Needed - SIG Olive Drab Dope
Post by: Crist Rigotti on January 04, 2013, 07:35:29 PM

Guys,

Does anybody have or know where to get 4 oz of SIG Olive Drab dope?  I know Brodaks has some but my preference and first choice is to use SIG brand.

Thanks.

Crist,
If you have other colors of SIG you can mix your own.  Equal parts green and yellow and then add orange til you get the right shade.  If the color ends up too light in color for what you want, start again and substitute purple (red& blue) for the orange.  Don't laugh, it works.

Alan,
