People put dope on the cork?


Migod, I found out they cover the whole airplane with it!

I was a dope user long before it became fashionable--used to build
model airplanes in my basement. Red was my favorite color, but yellow
was nice too. The two major olfactory memories of my mispent youth
were airplane dope and the distinctive odor of castor oil laced model
airplane fuel.

Ohh, and my Italian aunt's "bana calda".
