So Mrbill are you brushing your latex or spraying it? I'm just at the point of shooting my color this week. I put my rib stiches down with the glue drop method, BTW don't us gorrilla wood glue to do that, it turns dk brown when it dries. Regular Tite bond is almost clear. I have put down 3 coats of Nitrate with the last one having baby powder, lite sand with 400 and latex over that. My nitrate has appeared to gasout after only 2 days as there is no smell left at all. I've had it under my CoRay Vac infrared since Sunday, it's dry or maybe baked would be a better word. Anybody use that method? Khelsea
