Paint on a clear finish ... repost

Okay, I read the cited article and think this may be one way to go. I am so pleased there are so many options!

This would work really well for outer protection of one of GPW's art foamies.

we had some problems yesterday with posting. a couple of us ended up with double posts. i have and will delete double posts.

this is something that is technical with the site, so you all just have to bear with admin.

I bought a gallon of base and will use it some time. I read about this in a wood working mag about a year ago. I am thinking of using it instead of a primer on my little project. Then after the weave is filled put color on top.
