G-D-it! I am so close to being done with my first board, but am having “issues” with paint on the hotcoat before I gloss. I’m just trying to put a simple yellow paint pinline on the hotcoat with a thin black outline on each side of the pinline. First I tried acrylic paint (liquitex), but didn’t like the thickness of the paint and brush marks that I couldn’t seem to get rid of. Plus, a test of the gloss resin over the paint made the yellow paint run (not the black line, though). Then I tried a paint pen which made a better looking yellow pinline and since my black paint pin ran out of paint, I tried using a black Sharpie permanent marker to finish the black outline. Then I test coated a small area with an enamel clear coat and that made the black line run, but not the yellow paint. So, I guess either the Sharpie or the enamel clearcoat was a bad idea. Any thoughts besides sanding the whole thing off? Are regular Sharpies a no-no? I couldn’t find Posca pens or Sharpie acrylic paint pens at the local art supply stores.
thanks,
Jim
