Hi all!
I am in the process of sanding/stripping my DX3 (paper tubes) and got a
little "enthusiastic" in some spots. In those spots the outer paper
surface seems to be shredding, almost like the extreme outer layer of the
tube is peeling off (looks a little like white glue peeling off, but there
is no glue there).
My question is does anyone have any ideas on how to get a clean, smooth
surface for painting on a tube with this type of defect? The two ideas I
have at this point are:
1. Build up the surface gently and thoroughly with automotive hi-build
primer and sand, sand, sand
2. Apply a light coat of diluted wood filler (almost like a plaster skim
coat on a wall) and sand until smooth
I do want to try and minimize weight and maximize durability, but I'm at a
bit of a loss on this one.
Thanks in advance, and have a happy holidays!
