Random thoughts

As I was prepping some woodwork today using BIN, I was thinking that it might work in prepping the forms for the hide paste. It has a shellac base. Any thoughts or should I just keep on painting and stop thinking?

Contrary to what some may say,shellac is a good primer for most water based pastes.However,you still have to scatch up a urethane for and if you do that properly,you don't need any more prep than that.Keep painting.

Didn't shellac go out with paper forms?

I didn't know anyone still used that stuff. Especially with foam forms today,as Jim stated, if you gotta scratch the form anyway, why bother?


Why not....

just offer the darn forms already sanded (said it a thousand and one times) this would be a non subject/conversation. I know what your saying George , gasoline ass or something like that. But I would pay the extra $$

I dont know about using it as primer but I do sometimes use it on forms that I have done alot of altering to, not to make the glue stick better but it seems to help the hide slip on the form easier than all that rough foam, obviuosly this is when i THINK I'm done altering, and may need to do more before I glue it up. I dunno just my 2 pennys, Derek ( Croc)
