Apparently, there are a couple different types you can use depending on what stage of glassing the board is in. I am still trying to figure it all out. I have found a source for the pens, but as I said before, they are expensive. Here is what I did on the board I painted; I gave it the once over with some wax remover. I then lightly sanded it before spraying it down with a white acryllic spray paint. After I finished paintin' it, I sprayed it again with a matte Krylon sealer. Still no signs of cracking or peeling yet! KCT, Neat design and transposing of the mugs. Your choice of colors are very relaxing also. They set off a nice peacful like vibe. Flounder, another killer painting! you have the shading blending thing working pretty good. Here is a question to you and all the other painters. Do you ever have trouble getting your paint to cover in one coat? I have to go over every color two or three times to get it opaque. Is there a paint additive you can get to help the paint cover better? Thanks and keep up the creeatin' Chongolio -- I believe that our Heavenly Father invented the monkey because he was disappointed in man." ... Mark Twain [ Edited by: Chongolio on 2003-09-10 10:39 ]
