Here's a pretty good thread: http://signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62831 I use the Ben Moore Aura, semigloss but I actually put a stipple on the sign face.....sorta like smaltz but not...just me being a little different. BTW, when I use the Aura, it's not sticky to the touch (for...

What everyone else said +1. Joe, Makin Chip$ and Havin Fun!

I was just wondering why not clearcoat first, then mask and paint? That would solve any bleed issues and your mask won't pull up any fibers.....tho with maple I don't think it would be a problem. I LOVE Catalpa!!! I saw your site.......nice carvings! Your business is certainly not a one...

Thanks Jhill and John! I'd call it orange peal too .......but it sells better as, my exclusive "bright textured" finish. :ROFLMAO: Best part is that it comes free, right off the roller.:toasting: After all......it's all about the sale. :smile: Joe, Makin Chip$ and Havin Fun!

Skyhigh, The Moore Glo is a bit thicker......doesn't flow as well as the Aura. I use a fine roller to paint the faces and with the Glo, I can raise a fine stipple. I call it my "bright texture" finish......sorta reminds one of smalts. The Aura flows better so it 's tough to get the same...

Sorry......forgot the vinyl question. Don't bet the farm on this...... I use Ben Moore Aura. First, I used their Moore Glow line. (I pre finish my signs.....then, mask, carve letters, paint/gild....remove mask) The mask didn't stick very well to the Moore Glo......sticks great to the...
