hello fellow -engravers!
i have a question about the making/mix of the fluid for transfer(so i can draw on it with pencil,made from zippo fluid and dammar varnish(i use the Talens).somehow i made the wrong mix,because when i put it on my furface it does not get completely dry,so the pencil will not con on good,it does not leave the grey mark you know.Is this due to not enough of the varnish,or,not enough zippo fluid?If someone can help my out with this one,please.Imade this last time years ago but somehow forgot the trick..
Maybe if i can make a note with what i add to the solution,so the gold or silver does not shine anymore under the mic.
I put some painting powder in it(it sais:artificial mineral pigment),titanium white,it gives my less shine,and also it gives better contrast with the pencildrawing i will do on it.Maybe you can check it out one time,i will be glad to help with charing tricks.
But thanks in advance for the answer!
