Re: [Digital BW] Protective spray question

2011-03-21 by Richard Smallfield

Hi Tim,
all the aerosole sprays I've used (Moab, Lyson and PremierArt) have been very toxic smelling and should be used with a mask and goggles. They all seemed like the same stuff in terms of all their properties. They work well (apart from the awful smell).

I've tried brushing on water-based UV shield as well, but it totally changed (ie. wrecked) the print surface. Maybe with professional spraying equipment it might be a different story, but for invisible UV shield spray, they all seem to be the toxic ones.

I avoid them if at all possible, reasoning that my work's not so important that it warrants introducing even more pollution into the environment.

Glass is the only solution for me.

Good luck,
Richard
