What do you use when painting your tubes? Also how do glue up without the glue showing through the blanks? :nooidea:

They're have been occasions when i have wanted to know this too....

I assume that an aerosol based spray... and super glue would be compatible..

Prime or etch first? not sure... may be worth a try.
