Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal for sealing fountain pen ink

It is basically wax partially dissolved in a volatile solvent. Apply a little to your fingertip, dab onto the dried ink, then finger buff until it's as fine and even as possible. It penetrates both ink and paper, and when the solvent evaporates, the wax polymerizes again, binding the ink and waterproofing the entire surface. As far as I can tell it becomes rock hard after curing. The downside is that you can't put anything water-based over it (like other inks or watercolors), although I'd bet enamels, oils or varnishes will stick to it just fine (although I haven't). ). verified). Also, if you apply too much smearing in one spot and don't start smearing/buffing right away, it will seep into the paper and form "grease spots" in areas where the paper is more transparent (although this may be the case in some places can be advantageous for example for sealing gouache paints). So don't apply it to different places before you start polishing: work locally. For best results, it is also important to buff it very carefully when applying: if there are streaks or finger/brush marks, proceed. The goal is not to create a layer on top that seals like a coat of paint, but to saturate the ink and paper. When freshly applied, the paper feels greasy, but once it's had enough time to cure, the paper will dry out and become a little smoother. as previously; something between ordinary paper and magazine paper. Also, make sure the ink (and paper) is completely dry before applying. It doesn't smudge the ink, but when the ink is still wet you can get colored "lint" from moisture-dissolved paper fibers scattered (and permanently sealed) throughout the paper. If you're looking for something to seal in ink so you can paint over it with watercolors, this isn't going to help you. The only solution I think is to switch to waterproof inks. I only use it for "bulletproof" ink, which looks great but is too brittle for my comfort. but when the ink is still wet, you can get colored "lint" from moisture-dissolved paper fibers scattered (and permanently fixed) across the paper.
