OK today I applied Titebond 2 with a paint roller, and then 10oz home depot canvas drop cloth. (By the way, most of those have seams! and one was not the full 4ft wide which forced me to overlap two pieces, leaving a visible seam).
So I have to start thinking about paints. I'm thinking exterior latex, but not sure. Also, gloss, semigloss, or matte?
experiences appreciated!
