My own experience from the Swiss weather is the same as Pete describes. Hence I see no real reason for your question...
But if you do need to fly abroad, then it makes sense...
So, first I agree with about making your own tests. As for me, I always dope before spraying, regardless if acrylic or enamel (too long ago, come to think of it).
I am always amazed at how the tissue sags after spraying. It is like when during water shrinking you apply a full coat of water on the plain tissue. It then shrinks back to ok, of course.
For me the main problem is tissue pores. Without dope you will suddenly see oo many holes in the tissue finish, which you do not notice in the natural transclucent tissue finish. In order to get rid of this, you need to seal the tissue, so , yes, dope...

BTW, are we good for the 25th?
