Re: tank coatings and cork float coatings

[sailor58]

I use airplane dope on cork floats. Two or three coats. You know the stuff you painted on the tissue paper skin of your balsa frame airplane models? Last time I bought some at a hobby shop the young man at the store told me they don’t call it dope anymore. Its now known as sanding sealer. It’ll stand up to hot methanol, nitromethane and caster oil, E-10 gasoline won’t touch it.
