You have to admit the lite coat name is a bit deceiving. Should be called "Sig Low Shrink" or something like that.

No, I don't have to admit it. Lite coat has been around since the Dead Sea was sick and since SIG has been selling dope! It has been described in countless articles . adds, and in detail in SIG catalogs on how to use their dope products and should be on their website. I can't tell you how many times it has been explained and detailed on just this website alone. I believe it got it's name from it's primary use, doping light weight free flight air frames. If you have ever read free flight articles or kit instructions, they almost always called for " a light coat of dope" on the structures when getting to the point of doping the covering to avoid warping. Before Lite Coat, they advised adding a few drops of castor oil per ounce of thinned dope to plasticize it and make it non tautening. Then there is ALWAYS the oldest trick in the book, try reading the label
It says "Fuel Proof, Low Shrink Butyrate." And I guess I had better not tell you about banana oil. No, it's not for quieting down squeaky bananas!
