Tautening Butyrate Dope

9701 Tautening Butyrate Dope is used to shrink and seal natural fabrics such as cotton and Irish Linen.

Apply in multiple coats until the fabric reaches an acceptable level of tightness. Due to its shrinking characteristics, it is not recommended for use on Ceconite or other polyester synthetic fabrics. Polyester fabrics are shrunk primarily by heat; also applying a tautening dope after heat shrinking could produce undue tightness and deformation of the underlying structure.

Thin to spray viscosity with 9703 Butyrate Thinner, usually one to one. One thinned gallon covers approximately 200 square feet.
