What do you seal with prior to painting?

@lmjacobs I use mostly Liquitex products - my sealer/varnisher is called Acrylic Polymer Gloss Medium. I get a good price for quart bottles at Dick Blick's.

@medhaj33 Thanks! I'm sorry, but the I've never found any other aluminum plates made like the one in the video. I wish I had more pieces, too!

How do I keep everything from sticking in the joint compound? When I take the objects away, the compound sticks and does not leave a good impression like yours.

@seashoresecrets Besure to dip each of your objects in water before you press them into the plaster! BEst...

@yoggu Water, water. water - dip each object in water before pressing into the wet plaster! Best...

hey [: I'm making my first joint compound texture, do you let it dry for a few minutes after you've applied the compound so it isn't so wet and wont stick to the objects I use?
