Title: Plasticizer usage
Post by: ChrisSarnowski on February 23, 2011, 09:07:02 AM

Hi Guys,

I'm going to use Randolph dope w/Sig trim colors on my ship. What layers should I add plasticizer to?

1) Randolph Nitrate Non-tautening (clear)
2) Randolph Butyrate Insignia White & Sig colors
3) Randolph Butyrate Non-tautening (clear)

Nitrate to seal the wood, stick on the silkspan & polyspan (wings), then probably more nitrate to fill.

Probably prime with Duplicolor sandable primer grey. Then all butyrate after that.

Thanks
Chris

1) Randolph Nitrate Non-tautening (clear)  not needed here
2) Randolph Butyrate Insignia White & Sig colors  in the Randolph White
3) Randolph Butyrate Non-tautening (clear)  not needed

Nitrate to seal the wood, stick on the silkspan & polyspan (wings), then probably more nitrate to fill.

Probably prime with Duplicolor sandable primer grey. Then all butyrate after that.

HI Chris,

"non tautening" dopes already have plasticizers in them.  Sig colors have plasticizers in them.
