Questions & Answers

When I use mod podge, the pages on my journal stick together, so I want something that I can put over them to stop it. What happens to this when it gets ?

As for whether it will get sticky when it becomes hot, I can't guarantee it. However, because it is wax, which usually melts when it gets hot, I think it is likely that it will with time. It might be possible for you to put a layer of clear gesso over the modpodged pages, that will generally keep them from sticking.

What about inkjet printing? Could this be used to protect it?

My knowledge of the subject is limited

When it comes to finishing watercolor paintings with cold wax, can you use it?

In short, yes. The glue I used was to adhere a watercolor to After the surfaces of the weights (books) have dried, I then apply the cold wax to their surface.

I really like the wax I use for painting watercolors
5/5

Painters will love this stuff since it is great for watercolors. The smooth, water-resistant finish goes on smoothly and dries quickly without leaving any water spots on your masterpiece. The protection offered by this device is also a great alternative to It's fine to use glass, but if you don't like the look of glass over your art, this would be a better option.

The use of watercolor paintings comes with a lot of I use Dorland's sealant because I find it difficult to seal my small watercolor paintings that I use in cards during the colder months
4/5

It's been a while since I've read reviews of and watched videos from artists who are using this product on their watercolor The Dorset Seal is definitely sealant, but it also has the tendency to activate the watercolor lightly, so it is important to apply the sealant sparingly and judiciously to the painting. It is not surprising that I noticed the smearing since I use more of the white watercolor paper in the background of my watercolors. The edge to edge painting of your finished piece probably will not pose much of a problem. There was a noticeable smearing effect on the unpainted background caused by the dark colors. The thickness of the wax was also an issue. I think you will find that the waxiness of my paintings is quite apparent in the areas where the white watercolor paper is used in the background. I did not notice the waxiness when painting, but the cold press texture of the plain watercolor paper is really picking up on it. I don't notice the waxiness of the waxed painting much if I look at it straight on. When I tilt the painting at an angle, it is very noticeable and I do not find it appealing. When it's time to buff, I buff it once it's dried 24 hours after the wax has dried and I don't like the feel of waxy surfaces Once the wax has been buff, it has a strong sheen, and then you can really see it. there are still waxy tastes to the paint even after buffing. Alternative to the JudiKins MicroGlaze, I've had great success with JudiKins MicroGlaze. This process produces similar results, but even when the artwork is buffed, the sheen is so light and so soft that there is no waxy smell to it. The only downside to MicroGlaze is that it is much more expensive, however, I prefer the finished result of MicroGlaze so I'll probably stick with that for small paintings and use the Dorlands for something more substantial, such as paintings or colored It can be trickily to take pictures in order to illustrate my point, but I tried. In the first picture you can see that the tree has been waxed with MicroGlaze there is no sheen even tilted toward a source of light. On the next three pictures, you can see how the grey tree has been When the wax is viewed full on, you can't see it but you can still feel it. The waxy sheen comes into focus when paintings are tilted in the direction of a light source (same tilt and light source as in pic #1). In the end, I find that MicroGlaze provides a better final result on my watercolors than Dorland's.

Your art journal cannot do without this
5/5

Getting creative with your art journal pages is made so much easier with this product. A smooth and easy application makes sealing the page easy and prevents the Applying a thin coat of paint using a clean rag is what I do. As soon as I apply it to my journal pages, it dries fast. In addition to being useful as a finish for artworks, it also has aesthetic qualities. This is an excellent book!.

The paint is applied over the watercolor
5/5

What I love about this is the simplicity. It was my first time working with a protective coat and I applied it to some watercolors that would not go behind glass. It did not smear at all when I applied it. As I was afraid it might hurt the watercolor, I applied a light coat and then wiped it off with a clean rag and it stayed matte and did not interfere with the painting whatsoever. Putting on and buffing out must be done together or else it dries on you after a short period of time.

I don't have to peel the pages from my art journal anymore
5/5

It is a huge container that is going to probably last me a lifetime. I use it as glue to prevent pages from sticking together in my art journal. There is a lot of work on my pages that was done with acrylic or matte gel. This stuff works great when applied with a paper towel. Just rub it on lightly and it will do.

Gouache is sealed well with this product
5/5

Gouache painting was new to me until recently. In addition, we've been painting a great deal since we're on lockdown. In order to preserve or seal my gouache paintings, I had to cover them with water so they wouldn't reactivate. When I found this product I discovered it is recommended by artists to use with hydromedia abs gouache because it seals the abs gouache and protects it from being reactivated, Now you don't need to use glass to hang your paintings, something I use to avoid. To apply the solution, rub it on with a tissue or a lint free towel. 2- I use a gloved hand The waxing method is done using three fingers in circular motions. In relation to this, I would like to mention two things Make sure you don't put this on if you like the matte finish of gouache. The darkening also improves the contrast in your painting. If you've ever put grease on a brown paper bag - that's what that is like A little bit of darkness is added. I am pleased with it because it works After it has dried for three days, I store it in a plastic bag It takes 4 days to recover. Be sure not to rub it hard or it might lift some color. Buff it gently without hard scrubbing. You can buff the surface with gentle pressure if you desire a shine. It was a pleasure reading your article. Thanks. The first photo has been waxed with the wrinkled brown paper. The second photo has not been waxed on the.

It was a nice It never occurred to me that there was such a product when I first started painting with watercolors
4/5

In creating Christmas cards I was happy to find this. Since I used it on all my cards, I was assured that family and friends could leave the card without a frame and be assured of their safety. As I continue to work on other projects, I will use it.
