Rock a Bye Beddy
Sep. 30th, 2008 08:01 pmI just finished the main painting on the headboard and footboard of my camp bed! Hooray! Well, I still want to do some detail painting on the back of the headboard, but that's really a brandy soak for an already iced cake.
Now I just need to varnish the crap out of the bed. The paint is getting damaged just by leaning against stuff in the garage, so the sooner the better for that. We are experimenting right now with a combination of spray-on varnish to get an initial coat on and then brushing on a heavier varnish. Hopefully that will prevent the problem I had with the side boards where the varnish lifted the gold paint and smeared it everywhere I brushed.
