Best Answer

Very light airplanes models can be constructed with balsa and covered with tissue.

The dope is a sort of varnish used to harden the tissue.

The dope thinner is a solvent (butyrate) used to make the dope easier to paint on the tissue.

When drying, the dope will stretch the structure and give it additionnal strenght.
