@bigdaddycrash - You could add Retarder and water together first. The GOLDEN Retarder is a bit thick, so add water until you thin it down to feel like water. Then use that as you would use water to thin. Realize that Airbrush Medium has more than just Retarder though, including acrylic medium,...

@subgirl - You do not have to wet the paper, but you certainly can do so. I prefer to have the paper be just slightly damp to help the paint wick into the surface. It is more necessary to do this with non-OPEN products.

Hi Jan! You can never shake it too much, although after 20 minutes you may not need to shake for the 2 full minutes. The product is very thin inside the can and it doesn't take very long to start separating. One thing also about the second time, if you didn't clear the nozzle out after the fir...

Gonna Be all-right..........

Back in the day I probably saw these guys live about a dozen times. Great band that now on knows about. White knuckle ride.

AIC (American Institute of Conservation has a website section where you can locate a local conservator. They are more approachable than one would think. You can often call or email them and ask for advise and depending on your needs they may be able to meet with you to talk about the best pract...

Hi Angelic,

Putting more paint over paint that's peeling off doesn't do much good. You would probably want to wirebrush or sandblast off any loose paint, then fill in the losses with paint (GAC 200 plus GOLDEN Heavy Body or Fluid Acrylics) and then apply the Hard MSA Varnish over the entire stat...

@troysamidget -

You probably won’t be very happy with using a clay mold, but that’s fine, because you can certainly make your own silicone molds.

Take a look at a company called “Smooth On”

This company will also have release agent sprays if the acrylics don’t pop out as readily if you like.

@1TheBlackWolf1 you might be able to use it very thinly, but bear in mind matte products are inheriently cloudy and thicker films will obscure the image. So, yes, the process will work but you'll have to contend with clarity issues. If you do a "direct transfer" then it's no problem because it'...

shysterlicous, you can use the GOLDEN Archival Varnish and the base product called GOLDEN MSA Varnish on acrylic AND oil paintings. You should allow the oil paints to properly cure before using any varnish, but these varnishes work well over a variety of media. - GOLDEN

Hello. Do not use an acrylic isolation coat directly over actual watercolors, as it will most likely smear the image until it dries. Our best suggestion is to use the MSA Varnish Gloss first, and then apply the varnsih sheen of choice over the gloss as needed. - We have an info sheet about var...

As the late, great Walter Matthieu once said when seeing Ann Margaret. "HOLY MOLY!"

Yes, you can use a clothes iron or heat press.

You can visit our website (at the "technical info" area) for the Fabric Application Sheet that goes into more detail.

you can paint over the original paint Hallyvids, but you wouldn't see it because you paint the INSIDE of the lexan.
