(growling) Pardon me...an incorrect combination of keys sent that last
message incompletely.
The rest of my message would have read:
Acrylic medium (gloss or matte, depending on what surface you want) can
be purchased at "art supply stores" where paints are sold. Buy it out of
the tubes if you can...The bottles tend to get dry crud on the insides
that wastes the medium.
Acrylic medium, when applied too thickly, will peel off. Apply a
thin-to-medium layer of the gunk.
The medium is water soluble until dry. Then it is waterproof. If you
get it on your clothes (it's clear), too bad. :) You cannot put any pot
with acrylic medium on it in the oven or anything, as the medium does
yuckky (such a technical term) things when heated. Bleah. Don't do it.
Applying acrylic medium can be tricky if you want an even surface. It
tends to be a goopy liquid, but I don't recommend adding water. It makes
it even LESS easily applied...you get a bigger mess, on your pot, on your
workspace, and on you.
Too much acrylic medium will turn a hazy yellow, and as stated before,
peel off. Try to stay away from that, as tempting as it is to add "just
a little bit more".
Any questions anyone has I most likely can answer on this. :) Feel free
to email.
