The photocopy must be a commerial one (your ink jet printer will not work here), and a minimum of six coats of gel, thorough dried between, works best (I often use 8 or 9 if I want a really clear transfer). When removing the paper, I use a fine spray of water from a bottle, scrub lightly with a plastic scrubbie, and repeat until the paper is cleared off.Win Dinn, Etc.http://www.blogger.com/profile/03175735509853498545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3219237530473876374.post-76942184177325468292011-02-09T17:41:14.472-07:002011-02-09T17:41:14.472-07:00Oh, so beautiful.

Also, you really have to do no fewer than four layers of gel medium and allow it to dry overnight in between each layer. If you do that, I've found you can actually scrub the last bloom of paper off with a brush. I use Golden soft gel medium for mine. Anything stiffer than that just doesn't work. Hope that helps! Can't wait to see you and Bill this weekend . . .thestarbookhttp://thestarbook.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
