	Many will be familiar with dried water-based paint soon flaking off if applied to the normal outside surface. This is because the surface is no longer porous and may even be laminated with a thin coating of plastic.		Many will be familiar with dried water-based paint soon flaking off if applied to the normal outside surface. This is because the surface is no longer porous and may even be laminated with a thin coating of plastic. Start by turning the box inside out, as shown above, to solve this problem.

			=====Description=====

	Used cartons can be taken apart and turned inside out to create a box with a clean, unpainted surface that will accept '''[[Glues and Pastes\|PVA Glue]]''' and water-based paint very well. The boxes can be re-sealed using double-sided tape or a '''[[Hot Melt Glues\|Glue Gun]]'''.
