I used oil-based primer for the books. I used left over primer that I found at my apartment and a spray primer I bought at Home Depot.

If you're going to use the spray version, I would highly recommend getting a trigger adapter for the can. My fingers were bruised for days.

Might I also recommend doing this outside? I know I was still quite loopy even though I did it outside. All the more reason to take breaks!

I finished mine off with a polycrylic spray to seal the primer and help make it more water resistant. :D
