The paint-primer conundrum
You know how the hotdogs
and the buns never come out even so you just have to keep buying more?
I seem to have that problem with paint and primer.
I still had some paint left from my wall projects, so I decided to
paint our bookcase-to-be.
But we'd run out of primer, so we had to get another
gallon of that.
I have a sinking suspicion that when the paint is gone, we'll still
have primer left, sending me in search of something else to paint and
more paint to do the job with. Tricky, tricky....

I have this exact same conundrum with my pie and ice cream. Where will it ever end???!!!

If you have a hand plane around, planing the wood would give a nice and smooth finish that would require much less paint.
Although nicely planed wood doesn't even need paint in my opinion.
