Hi ya.

 I used to be a member here but forgot log in stuff so started this new account.  I have a question because I've forgotten stuff.  Before I paint my BB ply project, should I apply sanding sealer first?  I'm going to use acrylic paint.

thanks.

Welcome back.

Acrylic paint, applied directly on BB ply will raise the grain and leave a pretty rough surface, so prepping with a sanding sealer or even a coat of shellac will help achieve a smoother finish.  It might take an extra coat or two of the paint to get good coverage, but it will be worth it.

 welcome back.  I have had the problem logging in here and I texted to Travis and he got me back on board. Glad you found your  way back. I am happy you sent the question as I have been struggling to paint  some of my BB Ply to and  always end up disappointed with my efforts. Now I  know why because of you. Thank you for  your  help.

Welcome back from Eastern Washington State.  I am fairly new to the Forum (about 6 mths) so probably didn't know you when you were previously on here.
