I have this beautiful guide paddle I bought last year. It’s Sassafras. It’s gorgeous.
And I sorta want to paint all over it. So it looks like this:
So I’m starting with this:
I am applying this with a pinstripe brush:
Bear in mind that 1-Shot sign paint is as toxic as Lindsay Lohan’s liver after a weekend of clubbing (and probably about as flammable). It’s nasty when wet, but when dry it’s pretty neutral and looks great. And it flows…oh my goodness…it is the most gorgeous paint ever. It’s opaque, and flows off the brush like warm honey. It’s called 1-Shot for a reason. It only takes one shot.
Dry in fifteen, cured in an hour, ready for a coat of varnish over the pattern.
Wish me luck.
