I am working on several intersecting word plaques (thanks to our designer members). Problem I am having is figuring out the best way to attach backings to them and to apply stain to them. I have cut out the wording in the center of the project. If I adhere the backing, as I feel I should, then cut out the border, so it totally matches the border and the plaque perfectly, I am stuck trying to figure out how to stain the plaque without affecting the backing.
If I totally cut the project, stain it, then try to attach the backing, I never get the backing totally in line with the plaque. Also, if I take the pattern off to stain the plaque, then how to cut the border to without the pattern?
Am I missing an easy fix?
Thanks,
Ward
