last night upon the suggestion of my cousin I attempted to prime board using a latex primer . . . well really this morning before i left for work i figured it was something i needed to do. well while the resulting surface was pretty much dead on, the board warped . . . let me explain the process. I first laid a plastic sheet on the floor then poured the primer directly on the board then let it run off all four edges until it was totally covered, i then placed the board ontop of a metal bowl i have from my studio days (how i miss having a studio today) so that the ends would dry and not stick to the plastic. my plan for the board worked well, all except one edge of the board was 85% dry but the board was warped/hanging from the bowl on all four sides as if it were wet or as if weights were pushing it down on all four sides. I’ve not seen Masonite preform like this I may need to move onto something stronger.

on another front i have another board that i’d gesso’d a while back and i’ve started the painting/spraying of paint the more I look at it the better it looks only time will tell if this is a good or bad thing. If I had a photo I’d post it . . . maybe this weekend. I’ve just started a new job and I need to monitor my funds/funs . . .
