Well, here's one that ain't never been discussed here in Mudville...
I oughtta know this but I don't... The old hotel that I'm renovating is gonna be shops on the first floor... It has a center hall which is gonna be common area where folks can hang out and walk from shop to shop... It originally have several apartments in it and some were like a couple inches higher or lower than the hall or other rooms so I ripped down "sleeper joists" and have everything on one level (ADA compliant) and it surface is 5/8's inch plywood which I want to paint in a checker board manner to look like large tiles...
Here's the problem... The plywood has knots and imperfections and I need something that is paintable and durable that I can skim over the plywood before prinming and painting the fake tiles... I read the instructions on the 25 pound bag of floor leveler that I've used before putting vynal floors down but it disn't say it was paintable or durable so...
..any ideas as to a product that will fill the holes, bond with wood and be paintable and durable???
