Good afternoon Gentlemen and (if we should be so lucky) Ladies:
I am ready to start assembly of a laser cut building. I am building GCLaser's
2309 S-Scale Country Market which I call a Fruit Stand. This kit has four
sheets of parts. I like to paint the pieces while still in the sheets. I do
edges and touch-up once assembled. I took the raw sheets and started painting
the Antique White, Forest Green, and Orange. Once dry, I flipped them over and
did the other side. I noted two issues. First, the wood warped when it got
wet
as I only painted one side at a time. Second, the black laser edges did not
want to cover with both Antique White and Orange. (Dark Forest Green was fine.)
When I did a laser cut kit as a clinic at the NMRA 2010 National, they took the
laser cut sheets and sprayed them with something clear and toxic. It sealed
the
wood for painting. The black laser edges did not bleed through with the same
Antique White. Does anyone have a guess what was used? Dullcote?
Thank you,
Thorin
