I first seal the panel with GAC 100. Then I apply a thin layer of acrylic paint and/or ink. Golden Fluid Acrylics are great.<br />I use these paints on the film, too.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05946135350696226202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8342635081281203226.post-58291290341813756552014-04-05T18:04:47.420-07:002014-04-05T18:04:47.420-07:00Hi Cathy!
I love your work.... you really are usi...Hi Cathy!<br /><br />I love your work.... you really are using Dura-Lar to great effect! I'e recently discovered the wet media film, and wanted to try adhering it to wood panel... then discovered your blog! From your post, it looks as though you paint on the panel as well as the film, correct? could you describe the process in a bit more detail? <br /><br />I've been painting on the film (one side only) and thought the panel would be a nice way of presenting the painting. The gel is a less toxic way of gluing than contact cement.... so I like that!<br />Thanks for a great post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8342635081281203226.post-50791945564510857452012-04-21T07:02:24.362-07:002012-04-21T07:02:24.362-07:00Lovely work!

I forgot to mention that if you decide to try it, make sure you seal the wood panel with PVA size or Gac100 first otherwise the clear paint film will turn yellow over time from the acid in the wood, I learned that the hard way.Meghann Raderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15243170318437983188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8342635081281203226.post-60652992578576348262012-04-20T05:58:50.133-07:002012-04-20T05:58:50.133-07:00So cool!

It dries glossy, but it still feels a bit plasticy to me.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05946135350696226202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8342635081281203226.post-72491607483805561962012-04-19T21:26:57.846-07:002012-04-19T21:26:57.846-07:00Wow, these are beautiful!

It has the thick glassy finish of resin but it's made of acrylic so no fumes. I'm a bit obsessed with it.Meghann Raderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15243170318437983188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8342635081281203226.post-71552359633236514582012-04-19T20:08:29.452-07:002012-04-19T20:08:29.452-07:00Wow that is so interesting..
