decorating elftool - effects with colour

[Shay Vings]

I've been playing around with this gadget using spirit stain before and after texturing. Not sure where I am going with it though, as it all looks a bit messy. Thought about using acrylic paint but presumably the paint would clog the cutter blades?

Is there any stuff on UKWF or on the web which explains the best sequence of operations for the use of colour over/under texturing?
