Quick Tip: Painting for Laser Cut Wood
I make a lot of wood decor for craft shows - including porch boards which have a lot of wooden letters and shapes that need to be painted. I also need to make them outdoor friendly to handle the elements. Figuring out how to create a quality product that doesn't take me forever... well it has been an evolving process.
