Critique my patterns, please

[Rickabilly]

That's a fair call DA, I found another product that works ok is cheap MDF primer, it brushes on fairly thick and takes a little longer to dry, but can be sanded "dry" fairly easily and has a similar silky finish, the only problem is that you can't wet the pattern too much, but for one offs it is really quite satisfactory, here in the UK I have used the "Wickes" hardware store "Home brand" with very satisfactory results.

Rick,
PS haven't been into the shop yet so no photos right now, and I always have automotive primer handy so for me it's no real investment, and I rarely use spray cans as it's too expensive that way, I have a primer gun that I've been using for twenty years so I just break it out and squirt a bit on whatever I'm doing.
