prepping for painting

so, based on all my reading, and using the flite test board, we scuffed the plane up with steel wool, then painted it with water based verathane.
to serve as a base for the spray cans.


we painted the one side of the rear stabilizer and main wing, as the verathane dried it pulled the foam board into a slight bow.

hoping that, now painting the other side will pull it straight, somehow i doubt it!!??

anybody else have a similar experience??
