Members Tina Posted November 8, 2008 Members Report Posted November 8, 2008 I've only just started using acrylics and haven't got a good solution myself, Tom. Hopefully someone can help here - Tina, I know you do some amazing stuff with acrylics - what do you use? Well guys...Ontop of acryllics it's easy. just some acryllic finisher with a brush (very soft one and broad...I use good quallity art brushes and Bro...I make sure the paint is dry first )I buy the Angelus Acrylic Finisher. It comes in Matt, Satin, Gloss or High gloss. It has a nice price ($12 pint and $18 quarts) and I think it works. The only thing though...If I have antiquing on I need to use Super Sheen or something from a spray bottle, this is nesecarry otherwise you will stain and smudge stuff up antiquing totally. Hope this helps you a a wee bit//Tina Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer. He who works with his hands, and his head is a craftsman.

Members twofour878 Posted November 25, 2008 Members Report Posted November 25, 2008 Hmm...quick question. If I was doing a notebook cover with a name painted on in enamels with the rest done in antique paste would super sheen be a good idea for the finish? Quote
Members ryano Posted December 3, 2008 Members Report Posted December 3, 2008 I use Weaver's tough Kotes ($32.00 a gal) and Weaver Leather Kote($22.00 a gal). Looks great, water proof and holds its finish for a very long time. Quote
