    Chip Board Bases

    What is the best thing to seal chip board with for making diorama bases? Or is it a pointless task?

    A good coat of primer will do the job an even coat of PVA or egg shell paint

      I'm a big fan of PVA in a fairly thick coat.

        I think also it will help a lot if you seal both sides. Chipboard can curl up if only treated on one side.
