Do you wet the papers each time? Seem to have missed that if you do. Bx

What glue did you used

[@CollagraphPrinting]

I used acrylic medium but wood glue is good too

[@gosneysuzanne]

How can all these mark making experience be translated to acrylic

[@CollagraphPrinting]

Good question! Very similarly actually, using various mediums and stencils and tools!

[@gosneysuzanne]

@@CollagraphPrinting it would be good if you did a video on it . I would like to see the outcome

[@katmcgee9516]

Fun! What type paper did you use for chine collee?

[@CollagraphPrinting]

Any thin paper will do, wet strength tissue paper works great

[@popcornsmidge2866]

I always thought you had to add a shellac layer over the collagraph plate to seal everything before printing. But I see you don't do this - is there a reason why? Thankyou

[@CollagraphPrinting]

I don’t do editioning, as I prefer to print only a couple of prints and then move to the next project. I would use shellac if I wanted to preserve the plate

[@opticvoid1489]

How are you cleaning the plate in-between prints?
