Description
Guild Materials Clear Shrinking Dope (125ml Tin), part number GLDCEX1000125, is a cellulose lacquer for tautening and sealing lightweight coverings on model aircraft. As it dries, the dope shrinks tissue and fabric across the airframe, helping to remove wrinkles and sags while creating a smooth, stiff surface.
The clear finish provides an almost colourless, weatherproof seal for coverings such as tissue, silk and paper. It helps protect these materials from moisture and light abrasion, while increasing the rigidity of the finished structure. This makes it suitable for the covering and finishing stages of model aircraft and glider construction.
Its fast-drying formula allows multiple coats to be applied efficiently as work progresses. The 125ml tin provides the clear shrinking dope in a format suited to model finishing work, from covering applications to smaller repairs. The product is part of Guild Materials’ range of traditional model aircraft finishing materials.
