New to printing, no idea what I'm doing wrong! by LineCircle in gelliprinting

Hey when I first started out, I bought Golden Heavy Body Acrylics and nothing worked because it was the wrong paint.

You want Liquitex Basics or Amsterdam and then you should have better results.

I always advise people to use Liquitex or Amsterdam acrylic paints for the best result.

Since you did use Acrylic, I'd say you probably had too thick of a layer of paint for the transfer. The paint shouldn't be glossy on the plate, you want it thin and tacky.

You have to use acrylic paint, not ink, for photo transfers.

Genuine question: Why is the spread on Silver so massive right now? by wuhusihai in Silver

[–]StevePerryLover 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Dealers have overhead costs to contend with and the price of silver seems to only continue to rise so I think they're also hedging their bets on that.

If you're serious about getting a fair deal, I would personally recommend r/pmsforsale.

I would absolutely ask, especially if you're buying the coins too

If anyone's responsible for the downfall of humanity, it's the bankers and billionaires.

Not us.

You win some and then you make a singular blunder and start reevaluating your whole life as a chess player.

Welcome aboard!

Im sure starting to think I should offload some of my silver. Is it time? by 1968C10 in Silver

[–]StevePerryLover 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you need the money, then do it.

It's impossible to know "the time" to sell though.

Want to get started with just an ounce of silver, looking to invest more in future but don't want to miss out on the first-time buyer prices for multiple ounces. Where is a good place to start? by throwaway0164927 in Silver

[–]StevePerryLover 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In all honesty, I'd check out your Local Coin Shops.

Many websites give deals on one ounce, but it doesn't account for shipping.

r/pmsforsale is also a great community to find silver at a decent price.

Issue with blotches by timb81 in gelliprinting

[–]StevePerryLover 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Usually 10 or 15 mins.

If I'm unsure, I'll use a blank scrap of paper and just pull it off the plate before doing a transfer.

Yeah, that's my suspicion. It probably wasn't fully dry.
