I made a about 8x10 funny saying (scroll sawing) so I decided to frame it seeing it was nothing special I decided to make it out of plywood. I router a small round over on the outside and inside of the frame. Being Plywood I decided to paint it, but the edges on the outside and inside are drinking up all the paint giving a dull look. Is there a sealer I can use to quench their thirst for paint?

Thanks Bill :(
 
Primer is a great help. Also some use Glue white or yellow glue will seal the edges. And of course the old favorite, Shellac or sanding sealer.
 
Hi folks,
I like "Durham's Rock Hard Water Putty"
It's a powder you can mix with water to any thickness you want.
Make it like thick cream, and you can brush it on the edge. Sands easily to a nice smooth finish.

As previously stated shellac will stick to anything and is very fast drying. You can also tint it to come close to the color of your paint.
