Hi there all, first post here.
I thought I'd just add a tip on making a good, paintable, linnen covering.
First, just glue the linnen on as normal, but be sure to use a lot of glue! Let it dry, and apply another layer of glue so that it makes the linnen texture "disappear".
Now comes the fun part; sand down the glue layer and stop just before you start sanding the linnen. This gives a nice and even surface that lends itself well to painting. If the paint does not stick well, sand a second time with coarser paper.
