Thanks! Yeah, I've found if it's inbetween dry and wet it pulls the layer up. When I get to layer 5 it just doesn't want to dry, waiting a week+ inbetween layers even with driers!

I've heard printing a layer a day, wet on wet, works well, wanted to get some more opinions though 😁

I've seen people sand and draw their designs on, and seal with PolyAcrylic so for a reduction its easier to retain the design... But it's just a bit of a faff! (I'm probably not doing it right though 😅)

Oooh, I'll grab a couple of that too! (is this how paper hoarding begins 🙈)

I've heard good things about Somerset Satin, but yes, very pricey! Might start with Rosaspina first and see how I get on printing on a larger scale... Bit worried about wasting expensive paper 😅

I'll have a look at Tiepolo, don't think I have heard of that one, thank you 😀

Ooh! I'm thinking of using Caligo SafeWash Ink on fabric, does it work well? Wasn't sure if I needed fabric specific ink!

Would love to start doing cushion covers with my linocuts...
