OddBall, do you tape off the holes inside the shell, then pour in the wax? I would think so, then pull the tape off and place it on the outside of the holes just in case.
I put the painters blue on the outside, filled them, then left it like that. when the wax is squishy you can scrape of the extra with a credit card or something. You don`t even have to be perfect as long as most of the hole is filled. Cover the wrap cuz it gets all over your hands if you`re a man and gloves if you are a chick when strip`n !! I use 5F5 water solable stripper cuz petroleum base leaves oily sheen and alchohol wont cut oil base or latex. The last step is always gonna be 220+ sandpaper wrapped around a big kitchen sponge to conform to the curve. I did a BD and FT painted with flat oil and then high gloss white latex and had no issues other than time !!
You are gonna be there quite a while with that kit !! I made the mistake of useing power tools just one time !!
