Painting Wood Models
#2
Try some of the oil based stains if you want to keep the grain , otherwise Floquil and other oil paints will eliminate warpage if you are only painting one side of the wood piece ....I've had good luck with water based paints on stripwood if I paint both sides immediately . If you are painting the wood but not using it right after it dries , weigh
it down for time period before use . Painting over glue can be a problem ....take EXTRA care with glued areas and use ( your wifes Goldth ) emery boards to sand in the nooks and crannies ...they can be cut to a particular shape with scissors if need be . Emery boards are cheap and invaluable little tools for wood modeling .

To err is human, to blame it on somebody else shows management potential.
