Re: 8x T39's

First few coats that are applied thinly with a smooth roller yes, i mix pva in. That paint (aldcroft/tuff cab) is water based so water should work fine to. Helps the paint go a little further since the PVA is cheap.

There are no extra supports used but I did put the casters as close to the sides as possible to help with rigidty and the stability when moving them around. The casters are also secured with m6 bo...
