I would use unfinished wood treated with alum solution. Then marble with acrylics, then shellac after it is dry if you wish. If you shellac before it will...
Fernando, It is best to use a hard wood species with very little open graining rather than soft. I agree with Iris, acrylics are the best for wood. There is...
No doubt I have asked this question before--damn if I can remember the answer though! Anyway, for the Aussies on this list, another Aussie has asked me where ...

Thanks Gail for the info. Tried putting the black first, and that's when the grains start showing. If I put it last, it does grain, but since it does not...
Another thought...especially about Createx black. If the Ph of your methyl cell mix and the paints you are using are very different, yes, the black is the...
... You are increasing the PH of the methyl cel mix to closer match the PH of the createx colors. Go for about 8.5. But, you can experiment. Anywhere from 6...
Usually a red turning pink when you print is because the color is heavier than the water. Thin it out or dispersant added may help keep more of the true color...

Thanks for that info, Enid. What happens if the pH level of the methycel size is higher than the paints? How do you check the pH level of the paints? I guess...
