We're making Deltie-Bs for my son's scout den. I know that you're not s'posed to paint them (and why), but I'm thinking the kids are really going to want to do SOMETHING to make the gliders look cooler, or at least write their names on them (and I know they can decorate the boosters).
I was thinking water colors, but I'm worried about getting the balsa too wet & getting warps as it dries out. Then I thought of fabric dyes (RIT) painted on; more concentrated than watercolors, so less liquid.
What do you think? What's the best..LIGHTEST...way to dress up a glider?
Thanks
