first you should have adjusted the laser power/speed settings to reduce the burn..... run a test of a small 1/4" square and a circle next time...
whipe the burn off with a paper towel. there's probably some residue from the glues/etc in the board... then, about 8-10 really light coats of white.... enamel paint (rustoleum) will take longer to dry so use krylon if possible... if you lay it too heavy, the board will swell and you will get a gloss look..
anymore questions view my forum modelbuilding101.com i check it daily....

Ah, that's a pain... >_<
Just back the board with contact paper next time and it'll reduce most of the burning.

just for a reference...
here's an image of a touch up model with some additional model work.. the site/buildings was museum board...main buildings were acrylic
i received the main model with site buildings in museum board and had to clean it up. i applied about 5 coats of white flat krylon then matte finish to avoid any finger print smudges/etc

First, I will lower the power and push up the speed. I will also use hydrogen peroxide and paper towel to wipe the burned edges. It works well, smooth and quick!
the madness of final reviews is beginning.
