Acrylic Transfers part 1

why distilled water? Is it critical?

You need to do what you feel best. I was taught that most water has minerals and trace elements that may discolor acrylics over time. Most acrylic makers suggest using distilled water and many of my professors did as well. Just got in the habit of using it and got a distiller many years ago. Just think it best for my work.

What is the paper used here?

Golden Soft Gel

what is name of the gel you used , give me the name of the product you used please, i would loveto it too.

Then maybe it is nap time.

my paper curls like crazy after i put it on the gel!

Sounds to me as though you may not be using enough gel for it to adhere properly. Or, it is developing a skin before you attach the paper.

great! What do you use for scraping the transfer

great! Thanks!! Did you used "scraping-paper" to scratch the picture?
