Tissue and butyrate are fine, but I prefer Polyspan. A bit heavier than tissue, but still very light, and very puncture-proof.

Just don't try doping the plane in the morning and flying it in the afternoon. Give it a chance to cure and you're good to at least 25% nitro. Don't leave raw fuel sitting on the dope finish.

I saw this stuff at Toledo and am dying to try it.
Compatible with everything and dries really fast. I asked the high nitro UC and FF guys and they couldn't say enough about it. |
