About Me:
I moved to AR recently, and with my husband, we are remodeling -slowly- his boyhood home. It was built in 1940. We love it already, but we are upgrading and of course adding our own personalities to it. I appreciate any suggestions you may have when I post my many (I'm sure!) questions over time.... Thank you in advance...
Favorite area of home improvement:
I love it all! I enjoy gardening, both flowers & veggies... and all DIY projects! Also like to draw, paint, do needle work, and mosaics.

Painting: Latex paint on untempered masonite?
If we lightly sand then prime the smooth side of an untempered masonite board and then use latex paint, will it hold the paint? And will the board hold up? We're using untempered masonite to cover up an 1940ish plank-board wall.
