Easy Dope is a top coating for tissue-covered flying models like an aliphatic resin.  There are warnings on the bottle about the hazards of ingesting this product.  At first I was skeptical about this product so I really can't call this a toy material. It's winter here in the Mid-Atlantic and the product had the consistency of Cream of Wheat when it first came out of the packing box that was left outside my door for who knows how long. I removed s teaspoonful of the paste and mixed it with some water and it then had the consistency of white (Elmer's) glue. It said to thin 50-50 to apply tissue so I did that but I overdid it and the results were horrid. I let it dry and removed it where it was worst.  I sanded the entire plane till it would accept another coating and used another produce I ordered, Tissue Paste, and that worked great.  After the covering was dry and taut I applied a thin coat of the Easy Dope to finish the project. I thinned the coat since it is a small model (approximately 1:32 Piper Cub by Guillows).

It's been a long time since I put a flying model together and I thought I'd get back into a hobby that I haven't visited since the early Sixties. With the new super glues and products like Easy Dope I may start reading up on R/C electrics!
