I think FT did a video and an article on minwax too.Polyurethane minwax will be your friend. After your build coat it with this stuff and wipe away wait a day and then paint wont lift the paper. I believe @BATTLEAXE has a video. Just be sure your done because after you use this stuff hotglue dosent wanna stick as well. Also dont use the water base minwax
Any brand of polyurethane will work. Be sure to use the oil based poly, don't use the water based stuff. The water based will lift the paper, just like water based paint.
My self, I don't paint. I cover my entire plane with colored packing tape. It's fast, easy, cheap, light weight, water resistant, adds a bit of strength & looks pretty good. I get the tape from Tape Planet - Colored Carton Sealing Tape OR Hobby King - Wing Tape, both have a good selection of colors.
UR art rocksTape looks good, but it is a PAIN to get it aligned perfectly. It took me multiple hours to get the tape all applied when my dad and I did a Simple Cub, enough to where I said, "I'll do the polyurethane and paint from here on out!"
Each method has its pluses and minuses; besides, for me, I like painting. One of the guys at the field keeps trying to get me to paint nose art on his planes, because he's seen my skill at painting rocks: View attachment 192146

I paint with acrylic then varnish after and never have a problem with adhesion. I use a water based satin polyeurothane too, it doesn't lift my paper and makes washing the brush easier afterwards.Any brand of polyurethane will work. Be sure to use the oil based poly, don't use the water based stuff. The water based will lift the paper, just like water based paint.
