Much easier to do this with Golden Matte Fluid Medium, cost about $8.

be aware the acetone is a reducer, which means it can take all toxic elements and reduce them into your blood and lungs or through your fingers. always wear gloves and a respirator.

@xzerpolix I had that same problem when I tried that technique, it was frustrating! I like the acetone because it doesn't disintegrate the paper, it makes it kind of waxy... the ink floats off without sticking to the paper. I didn't need to sand the wood when doing the acetone technique.

I've being use a gel medium and modpodge, but my biggest problem is I don't get all the paper off the wood so it ends up looking and pulling pretty bad. Besides trying this; should I not sand the wood before I do the transfer?
You killed that spot of grass!

will nail polish remover work just as well for this?

@xLunarxEclipsx No, it won't-- and I tried it! Nail polish remover isn't pure acetone, so it isn't strong enough.

Can you use a regular brayer to rub the image out?
