David Duckett 31-Oct-14 04:14 For Don C.: I cover wet using nitrate dope as the adhesive. The framework has been filled with lightweight spackle and sanded smooth and three coats of thinned dope applied with light sanding after each coat. Cover the same as for open framework. It's actually easier on a solid surface. Once the silkspan is in place and trimmed neatly, I brush a coat of dope over the entire piece. When it's completely covered I brush on three additional coats of dope before starting the painting. Don C 31-Oct-14 15:22 Mr. Duckett - Thanks. The doping before covering explains a lot, but you raised another question: "Once the silkspan is in place and neatly trimmed, I brush a coat over the entire piece". Is that before or after it has dried? I think it's after, but can see it being done wet too as over wood it doesn't need to dry taut. Don David Duckett 31-Oct-14 16:28 It can be done while wet or after it dries. David or DD.....that Mister stuff scares me.:) Don C 02-Nov-14 23:39 The temptation is too great....... Yes, sir. I'll remember that. :) Creosotewind 04-Nov-14 13:41 "Just once I wish people would call me 'Sir' without adding 'you are making a scene.'" Homer Simpson. Please sign in to comment on this image.
