a few months back i built a screen with 2 sheets of 3/6" masonite laminated over a sheet of 1" rigid insulation. that part of the project went well. after that it all went downhill.
i opted to use goo screen digital grey lite base and topcoats, rolled on. i used kilz2 as the primer. i bought the blackout paint from goo for my boarder. paint rollers from goo.
long story short, it's a mess. goo sent me new paint for free (their rollers left track marks from seams in the nap). It was also determined i had received an old batch of paint that should have been tossed.
i endedup with a textured screen and a black painted boarder that still reflects that image.
so....i am starting over to make a new DIY painted screen (i want to paint because i have little ones who can touch the screen).
i don't think trying to smooth out my current screen is worth it...
i was thinking of 2 options...
1. laminate a new sheet of 3/16" masonite over the current screen
2. get a sheet of 3/4" MDF as my screen
next question lies in what to do for a painted surface. i have a fresh bottle of goo screen but would need to get a base coat. still have my kilz2.
should i?
A. use the goo screen digital grey lite?
B scrap the goo screen and use a diff paint option?
what should i use for a black boarder that WON'T reflect an image?
help???
