This probably is not the time to ask this question. I should have posted BEFORE I cut my project.
Anyway, I did a project using pine.
My thoughts were that I would put on a coat of sanding sealer first, then carve, the spray paint, then sand off the paint from the uncarved surfaces. I figured the paint would stay in the vcarves after sanding.
WOULD THIS PROCESS WORK FOR ME. At this time, I only carved and have not painted. Should I spray paint or use a small brush to paint the carves and then sand?
Should I have used more than one coat of sanding sealer?
Should I have used another product instead of sanding sealer? Lacquer or shellac for instance?
Any help would be appreciated. I really should have tested this before carving. But in reality, this is only a test but it did come out really good so thought I would ask.
