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 :head_hurts_kr: )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

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?

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.
