There have been about 47 threads where someone discussed the best methods of preparing Shapeways WSF material for painting, and after a while the thread floats downward in this list never to be found again. Our members have experimented with everything from thinned PVA glue, floor wax, multiple spray coats, tack-coats (looking at you Clipper), sanding, melting, and spackle.

Let's gather all these good tips in one sticky thread. If you have wisdom to share on this topic, please follow up here. Please note that this topic can also include de-warping WSF models that have been bent during shipping.

You might also find some tips on the Shapeways forums under Finishing Techniques.
