Doping! Oh man that brings back memories of when my friends and I restored an old Taylorcraft. Coat after coat after coat, a layer of silver coat, then sand off to smooth and repeat. The factory that sold the dope is now a upscale lawyer’s office, and the one airport we used a giant mall.

The great thing about a rag wing (sticks and rags) is you can put some "100 knot duct tape" on it and keep flying. You can always repair later.
