After years of putting hot dinner plates and drinks on them, they started to show their age with some blister spots and peeling paper. They bothered me enough that I took on yet another project.
I started by peeling off the side stickers which were a thicker stock and suprisingly easy to do. Then I got out my heat gun and scraped the glue off. The top sticker was very thin and wasn’t going to come off like the sides. So, I got out my sander and gave it hell until the whole thing was smooth wood again.
Now I have 4 perfect canvas’ to start working on (after I wipe all the sawdust off).
I got out my gesso and gave them all 2 coats to bring them up to a bright white. I decided to paint the theme of Rick & Morty and picked out 4 images to work from.
I think they came out pretty well:
The only thing left to do was to give them that glossy protective coating.
