Apply one or two coats to seal and prime the foam and the wood filler. Sand lightly between coats, and dust off. then, once the primer is dry, paint it yellow! DO NOT use an oil based primer, as it will attack the petroleum base of the foam!! Get a water based primer sealer. Apply one or two coats to seal and prime the foam and the wood filler.

The foam is what is causing the problem because of the density in the foam is quite different then the wood. Do not try to paint a thick layer on top of the foam as this will make it look terrible. Using layers of paint is much less obvious when two surfaces are so close to each other. Use a primer so that both surfaces are uniform then apply the paint.

This stuff is fantastic. We use it exclusively when we build radio controlled model airplanes. You can put it on the pink foam and have a shiny smooth stuck tight surface. It can be used to cover compound curves, to some extent, but if your project is a carved surface with a 3-D effect, it will not cover that.
