Also the plane is stained where it had been cracked previously. The base color I am going to cover it with is white, so could I use white out or an undercoat to cover up the stains?
Thanks
Cracked? Are the stains from fuel soaking into the wood?
If so, spray some K2r on the stains to pull the oil out of the wood. The oil weakens the wood for one thing. It also resists the recovering job. Your problem is much more than just looks.
After the K2r has done it's work, consider if the wood needs to be strengthened. If you think so, CA does that really well.
White out? What's that? Like Snowpake? typewriter correction stuff? Don't worry about it, the K2r usually lightens up the wood since the darkness is from the oil and it removes that.
