Just a bit of advice - using a heat gun on your gel plate will damage it over time & cause paper to stick to the plate & tear. Best to have a fan on or use a hairdryer on cool 😊 Fun prints

@allisonjames2923 thanks for watching, and thank you for the advice. Although it is a heat gun, there is a fan option that I use instead of heat. It's very similar to a hairdryer. You can sometimes see that I'm rubbing the paper with my bare hand while pointing the heat gun at the same spot, and I'm not burning my hand. The paper I use is very thin and will tear if there is any moisture, so I use the heat gun (without heat) to help dry everything completely, and then the paper never tears. 💖

What ‘type’ (not brand) of Acrylic paint is it?

[@DLR122]

@@judyk.657 medium viscosity. All these brands are more or less the same. Nova Color is probably the softest, Golden is probably the thickest, but they are all medium viscosity acrylic paint. I hope that helps. 😊
