Paint question
 

what kind of paint do you use to seal off wood edges? i have to cut a but of my canoopy and as its the inside i want to know what kind of paint to use to seal it.

Thanks

I've used most types of paint and they all seal the wood. Oil based paints penetrate deeper but require a few coats, smell bad and need turpentine or varsol to clean up. Latex/acrylic paints are water based so clean up is just soap and water and fumes are much less but it doesn't penetrate the wood as deep. Of course after you paint the canopy which ever method you choose you can always throw on a couple of coats of clear Varathane for extra sealing power. My two cents worth anways.
