This document provides information on various products used in aircraft wood structures, including:
- Nitrate dope thinner which prepares surfaces for painting and speeds drying time.

NITRATE DOPE THINNER
AIRCRAFT WOOD STRUCTURES
NITRATE DOPE THINNER The primary purpose of nitrate dope thinner is to prepare model surfaces for painting. Nitrate functions as a sealant for bare wood and uncoated covering materials, and applying it to the aircraft will speed up the drying time of the paint. Nitrocellulose (similar to celluloid and gun cotton) is mixed with plasticizers and thinners to make nitrate dope. Plasticizers are required to enhance flexibility and fracture resistance once the dope has cured. Nitrate dope is very combustible in both liquid and dry form. T124 is a British-made nitrate/cellulose thinner that may be used with CL dopes. BUTYRATE DOPE THINNER
AIRCRAFT WOOD STRUCTURES
BUTYRATE DOPE THINNER Butyrate thinner is used to reduce the spray viscosity of all Randolph butyrate products, tautening or non-tautening. It is typically used in a 1:1 ratio with butyrate dopes. Butyrate dope is made from cellulose. It will burn even though it is less flammable than nitrate dope. It also retains the ability to shrink with age. This shrinkage must be considered in order to avoid damage to underlying structures over time. Nitrate dope is only used for the first coats of Ceconite; butyrate is utilized for all subsequent coats. Clear butyrate is used as a build coat to provide the dope film thickness and body while remaining flexible. Clear Butyrate has a transparent tan tint to help you see the product as you apply it. RETARDER
AIRCRAFT WOOD STRUCTURES
RETARDER Slower evaporation solvent for use in warm and humid areas. Reduces blush ANTI-BLUSH THINNER AIRCRAFT WOOD STRUCTURES ANTI-BLUSH THINNER A clear colourless unique blend of solvents, mixed with lacquers and varnish to avoid/reduce blushing. ENAMEL REDUCER AIRCRAFT WOOD STRUCTURES ENAMEL REDUCER Acrylic Enamel Reducer aids in blending and spot panel repairs. Use standard or acrylic enamel. Produces a dazzling shine and excellent leveling. The reducer adjusts the consistency of the paint to make it easier to spray on the automobile surface. After that, the reducer evaporates, enabling the paint to set and solidify. The basic aim of reducers is to make the paint thin enough to spray via a gun while also providing leveling and adherence. They are composed of a mixture or blend of several solvents. The mixes vary according to the circumstances and temperature. REJUVENATOR
AIRCRAFT WOOD STRUCTURES
REJUVENATOR A rejunevator has a custom mix of the same plasticizers used in Poly-Fiber coatings in the right amounts, along with penetrating solvents to carry the plasticizers into the old coating and bring back the original flexibility. One example of applying rejuvenator is spray on a coat of rejuvenator to soften the aluminum dope if a fabric work has been interrupted during the finishing process and the fabric has been exposed to it for a long period before the topcoats are applied. Then, spray on the color coats. strength. In rejuvenating an aircraft fabric, Rejuvenating dope does not provide a permanent solution for cracked finishes. However, the procedure will result in a long- lasting finish for a few years without requiring thorough recovery of the aircraft. Remember, before beginning the renewing procedure, you must make sure the cloth beneath the damaged surface is sound. Rejuvenating should not be tried if the area in issue exhibits evidence of fabric deterioration from exposure to the sun, etc. It's time to recover the airplane if the fabric has lost its tensile SPOT PUTTY & SANDING SURFACER
AIRCRAFT WOOD STRUCTURES
SPOT PUTTY Can also be referred to as wood putty. It is to fill imperfections in our wood structure such as holes and the unwanted cracks done by excessive work and force applied onto our wood structure. When using spot putty, be certain that any defects that may cause a loss of structural strength are not covered up and hidden. SANDING SURFACER This type of substance is used to fill and cover any surface imperfection in the wood.
high solid epoxy surfacer intended for use on
aircraft and other aerospace applications over Sherwin-Williams corrosion protective primers. It is used to fill and cover surface imperfections to create a smooth surface for topcoat application. ACETONE
AIRCRAFT WOOD STRUCTURES
ACETONE Acetone is an excellent solvent because it can dissolve polar and nonpolar compounds, whereas other solvents can only dissolve one or the other. Acetone can be used on both organic and inorganic materials. Acetone is a popular solvent used to produce plastics and other industrial goods. It is commonly used in the woodworking industry to remove old paint or varnish remains from hardwood furniture so that a new coat may be applied smoothly. Acetone is a widely used cleaning solvent. It is used to clean up after painting and to remove lacquer coatings. Acrylics or lacquers that have hardened in spray guns or hoses will be softened. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING
