22: Once the staples were smooth and flush with the
surface of the styrene, I applied several more layers of
spackle to the fillets, sanding after each layer dried.
Once the fillets were smooth and flush, I used a brush
to paint the coving with my sky blue latex house
paint. Here the paint is close to dry where the spackle
absorbed it, but the paint on the styrene is still quite
wet. The fan helps shorten the paint drying time. It takes
at least two coats of paint to color the coving evenly.
Apply Squadron White putty to the staple shank holes, let
dry, then sand smooth.
Apply additional layers of spackle to the fillets as needed,
sanding smooth after each layer dries. Shining a light close
to the backdrop but off to the side will reveal any remaining
dimples or divots.
