Acrylic paint sticking to glass
Posted: September 19th, 2020, 1:41 pm
When dyeing my paper with acrylic paints, the fibers often get stuck quite hard to the glass surface, to the point where the paper gets destroyed when I try to remove it when it's dried. Using only MC to size the paper, I don't have this problem, the paper comes off cleanly and easily.
I'm wondering whether that's a common problem, or if there's something different with the type of paint I'm using.
I've tried multiple strategies to mitigate the problem, the one that helps the most is first putting down a layer of MC on the glass and let it dry. Afterwards put the paper on there and do the typical MC sizing, mixed with acrylic paint. This works well, as long as the dried layer doesn't become too wet, so it doesn't start mixing with the paint.
Does everyone encounter this problem? If so, what are your solutions? And if not, what paints do you use?
