    Where have you guys found the cheapest silkspan and dope (clear), preferably not in bulk? I'm looking online with little success... tower hobbies is one of the FEW places that carry both, but I've found cheaper places that either only sell silkspan in bulk or don't carry it at all - and quite frankly I'm not in need of $30 of silkspan!

    yeah, but I can find quarts for about $17 at some places... I know, not much of a difference, but I'm only doing a destroyer... 3.5 oz jar should do the trick. Average price is $5.XX ... I've found some for $3.XX.

    Rowboat, I don't use dope to patch.... just Ambroid. It's a destroyer as well, so a small jar should get at least one additional residing out of it.
