Guild Lane Clear Non-Shrinking Dope

Guild Lane Clear Non-Shrinking Dope is a specialised transparent lacquer designed to seal, strengthen and protect lightweight modelling materials without causing distortion or shrinkage. It is the ideal choice for tissue-covered model aircraft, silk coverings and lightweight balsa structures where maintaining the correct shape is essential.

Unlike traditional shrinking dopes, this tension-free formula forms a tough, clear protective coating while preserving the alignment of delicate airframes. It penetrates porous materials to strengthen the surface, improve durability and provide an excellent base for subsequent coats of dope or paint.

Suitable for both traditional model aircraft construction and restoration projects, Guild Lane Clear Non-Shrinking Dope produces a smooth, durable finish that helps protect against moisture and everyday wear while maintaining the lightweight characteristics of the model.
