minifan Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 So my Magnolia purchase fell through and I'm actually soo anxious to work with a laser-cut house...I'm still deciding which one though... I wanted to know, if anyone has worked with them, how bad the black dust on the edges is? Can you still stain the wood without it marking too badly? Also, does it affect the paint colors? Just wondering...I'm actually debating a Beaumont in lasercut...I see a beautiful bricked Beaumont in my dreams!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I wanted to know, if anyone has worked with them, how bad the black dust on the edges is?It's not dust, it's charring, and it makes a beautiful coloring to the edge of the wood. I've built lasercut furniture & sign kits in the past.Can you still stain the wood without it marking too badly?Depening on the color of the stain, the char can enhance the appearance (the mission-style dining furniture is a lasercut kit): Also, does it affect the paint colors?Here's the lantern room on the 1:24 lasercut GL Lighthouse kit; you tell me: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monica_the_haunted Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I didn't have any problems at all. In fact, I really can't rave enough about them! I painted, stained stucco'ed (verb :welcome:) I think you can even wipe the dark stuff off. I rather liked it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
