ruined my painting best in Painting

I am a professional artist working with acrylic paints. I have been using this product for many years with great satisfaction. I ordered this 32 oz. Glass and product applied as usual. Typically the product is white and opaque when first applied and then dries to a crystal clear, lustrous finish within a few hours as advertised. This time the product dried as usual but did NOT clear. It stayed white and opaque, completely destroying my client's canvas. I either had to get my $500 commission…

Works great for transferring an image onto a tree.

I had some old, weathered, termite eaten fence boards and decided to make an antique sign for my guitar room. Very simple process: 1. Laser print (inkjet is not suitable for this method) your graphic on white paper in REVERSE; Staples, Kinkos, etc. can be laser printed if you don't have them. You want the paper to cover the entire piece of wood so there aren't any break lines or differences in texture when all of the paper is removed. You can use several blank sheets of paper to glue the…
