Moonlighter Posted November 15, 2022 Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 John, Great work!! I really like the painted finish. What blade do you use? Every time I cut a puzzle and then paint or stain the pieces don't fit back in, too tight. How much slack is just right or too much? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't tell you how much slack is to much?. I cut my puzzles for kids and so I like them to be a little loose so they don't get frustrated. One coat of paint on joining pieces and then I cut back the bloom so that it is smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
