Ok, so I went to change a bulb the other night and ended up taking my entire machine apart to redo the cabinet (I was enjoying myself and just seemed to keep on going). I have ordered decals and I have the cabinet completely stripped and sanded with the damaged areas filled and prepared.
My question is this;
Now the cabinet is sanded and ready for the decals, is it worth bonding/sealing it with a mix of PVA and water? Does anyone do this? Based upon other consturction techniques for sealing porous surfaces (i.e. sealing new plaster or plywood with water-pva mix) I sem to think it might be beneficial as opposed to just leaving it as bare, untreated wood? I know this will raise the grain, but after a few coats I would just use my DA sander with some 800grit to polish it off.
Having it prepped like this will surely make the decals stick better and seal the wood?
Thanks in advance for any pointers.
Mark.
