Premium Member Comment by pete hill on April 12, 2010 at 23:14: masking tape the board, then spray with spray adhesive, then stick image to it, let it dry, cut image with a scalpel,weed out image area, paint, remove tape, done.

Premium Member Comment by Matthys on April 12, 2010 at 22:46: btw, i still dont understand how the stencils work when your painting. i tried printing out a design, using a stanley knife to cut it out, then taping it to the wood and spraying it.
but it was all faded and smudged so i need to find a better method.
im not very good at painting so im a bit stuck, anyone have a good method for doing wrighting, like logos?

Premium Member Comment by Matthys on April 12, 2010 at 22:40: hey, the board is cut out and ready to be sanded down.
dont have a sander at my place so i hav 2 wait a week till the hollidays r over u before i can unleash limitless abuse upon the school graphics workshop. ( got the maddest teacher which lets me do pretty much anything)

the concave is really comfortable and the board has the tiniest hint of flex, but im certain that thatll be nullified once i get glass on it.

Premium Member Comment by Adam on April 8, 2010 at 23:47: you just commented on it, if you go to the bottom of this page and look at the funny things called numbers and read from 12 to 1 look at the links, you want to learn about, but make the effort. its how steve and i did it and it works.

Then ask questions. and we would love to help but we will not repeat all the stuff on the groups page already.
