“That’s why they call it Dope.”
Y’all must have missed some history.
It used to be we built aircraft out of wood and fabric.
Be it a model or a full sized aircraft.
We sealed that fabric with “Dope”
to make the fabric water tolerant.
If you didn’t have good ventilation,
you got pretty messed up.
Very similar to a variety of illegal
drugs.
Hence the adoption of calling drugs Dope.
Butyl acetate if I remember.
Ive doped my share of balsawoid airplanes.
