I am planning to build a desk similar to the one attached. In the instructions, they say to use latex paint. I thought (from what I read in other threads) that latex stays sticky and therefore it is best to use enamel for an application like this.
Can someone give me some education on paints and which ones are appropriate for various applications?
ALSO, I am thinking that I may use Baltic Birch for this. The directions say "birch ply" but I think baltic birch will be more consistent and less warpy for this kind of piece. Any opinions on what wood to use?
