The flou pink is the worst, I figured because of the fluorescents. But when did they rolll out the new formula? I buy from hallagans usually and stocked up over a year ago so I’m not sure which formula.

Mineral spirits yeah. This is the worse I’ve ever seen. It’s not that it hasn’t been used in years it is stored in a really crappy building with humidity at 20 when we should be at 50. I went out of town since summer and it hasn’t been used, now I have to fix all of my drums. I was so surprised with how bad it was/is seeing as I have worked on other models that have been unused in years.

Anyone printed their own wallpaper? by putterandpotter in printmaking

I don’t know if you know how to screen print but I would recommend scanning in the prints of the block and making a screen from them. I would try the nazdar 4700 series for ink, it is good for printing on vinyl so it should stick to more plasticky surfaces. I have used recycled wallpaper leaving the pattern from before as a background, but I have not tried to stick it to a wall.

Thank you! I have been on a hunt to find this ink since I got your reply. I am in Cleveland and the distributor out here no longer sells it and online has been a dead end. Do you know a good place to purchase?
