| David Duckett | 05-Jan-09 21:34 | | Covering....... |
| 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. :) |
