I have three Cubs I built one last winter, one the winter before, and boss gave me one... all three need to be covered, the last cub is huge, maybe 1/4 scale my boss had it for 20+ years, needs to be re-glued, repaired & re-covered
Thank you for the refresher. So far it is review for me, but the silk will be new info. My question may be a bit unfair just because thew problem occurred so long ago I can't remember any details. I used baby powder on a balsa fuselage. I might have put on silkspan, too. Put on the base color. I wish I could remember what tape I used to mask, but it was likely blue painters tape. When I removed it I also peeled off my base coat. Should I have put on a couple of coats of clear before the first color? This would have been with SIG butyrate dope. Thanks ahead of time for any comment.
In the past, when I had to use masking tape from the hardware store, I would press the tape to my jeans to remove some of the stickiness. After masking I would take a small paint brush and some clear dope and seal the edge of the tape. I would remove the masking tape as soon as possible.

Thanks for the tutorial!
Frank,is that Brodak
or Randolph dope?? What weight (mommie) is the silk? Pronounced hab a toy. I get mine from Dharma trading.
I used 4 mm silk from Dharma Trading. The clear dope is Randolph and the colored dope is Sig Super Coat.
Mr Cox, I was wondering if air brushing would be a good idea applying the dope
Yes, I use my airbrush for most areas of applying dope such as trim colors. All the red was applied with the airbrush.
