Aircraft dope is a plasticised lacquer that is applied to fabric-covered aircraft. It tightens and stiffens fabric stretched over airframes, which renders them airtight and weatherproof, increasing their durability and lifespan.[1][2] The technique has been commonly applied to both full-size and flying models of aircraft.[3][4]
