Hi guys,
been awhile since I've posted here but I lurk and follow you guys' projects some. I'm building a set of six of the Adire kit 61 - I thought about the projects here with the better crossovers but I had the woofers for a year in a box, time to do something with them!
Anyway, I sealed the mdf with shellac primer which went well, then sprayed several coats of primer using spray cans (fraid that's the deal, not a gun). The problem I've got is that while the overall picture is ok, I've got some texture here and there on the 1/2" radius edges and some pits here and there. It doesn't have to be a perfect finish since the room is dark, but I want something I can live with.
What is the best way to proceed to fill and sand the surface to get ready for laquer with some primer already on? I know I should have sanded more before primer now, but at the time I was going to just paint the satin and be done, this laquer bug bit later. So any specifics on grit, sanding block, process, what filler to use, etc would be great given the stage I'm at.
Thanks!
Vince
