Neil,
Looks just stunning!
The more you do of this type of work the more you want to try.
I have all these rolls of fine art paper and they just sit in the corner as of late.
Did you get your Inkaid in yet and how does it compare with the first coatings you started with?
I would like to see a product that dries a little faster too. It is the only reason at the moment that I am not selling mine. Although I think I have it figured out with the following process.
The best way to get rid of the dust and debris is to topcoat with varnish, Clearstar or Krylon.
After a good sealer coat or 2 you can then sand with 3M 320 grit trimite,wipe the dust off from sanding and then put a nice heavy topcoat on.
The grit of sandpaper you choose should be light enough so you do not sand through the sealcoat. Another reason 2 coats before sanding is a real good idea.
The imperfections are gone and it is like glass. The Krylon is $3.99 for 12 oz. cans and the Clearstar is $13.00. I guess that tells you which one I use most.
The ink must be absolutly dry,probably 2 days.
Now that you see what goes into the process to get them almost perfect,are you going to market yours?
