Interesting Mick
Your technique is different to mine. I completely wet the silk with distilled water, apply a very thin coat of dope/thinner to the surface to be covered then lay down and tack. I then let it all dry, a spray mist bottle is used to re-wet sections that may by drying out faster than others, this stops excessive warping. When all is good and dry I recoat with a slightly thicker mixture of dope and thinners, let it dry, then repeat.
Cheers
