What I'm really confused about is the length of time to leave the paper on the plate when doing the final pull. I notice you had commented that sometimes you leave it for a few hours. Is it better to leave it longer rather than only a minute or so?Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17664373539443271985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194551949195718458.post-53467007798363582532018-09-29T05:11:28.994-04:002018-09-29T05:11:28.994-04:00Good blog and you have described in a very nice wa...Good blog and you have described in a very nice way.

I find that sometimes I have to apply the second coat and wait a minute or two to let it soften the first layer. I use a variety of paints and haven't found one more difficult than the others. If your paint on the second coat dries too fast maybe consider adding a slow dry medium to the paint. Most paint manufacturers make one.
