Hey how did you find such a large tetrapak

[@mursyidahzainalabidin8731]

Hi, for your information, i combine a few tetrapak to make it large. and attached on cardboard at the back

[@tommies700]

hi what is the use of linseed oil here

[@tinapetrovicz9741]

The linseed oil loosens the ink. In North America we use burnt plate oil (linseed oil that has been super heated) for the same thing.

@@tinapetrovicz9741 yeah, true. Depends on the thickness of the ink.

[@RomanVaughan-Williams]

the key question is is it possible to renew the surface of the plate somehow

[@mursyidahzainalabidin8731]

you need to do another plate, because once you etched on the surface, no turning back

@@mursyidahzainalabidin8731 what I mean is … after a few prints the surface gets really claggy and it is hard to get a clean print
