Hi Jules,

I use the glossy aerosol can. However to really get a smooth invisible
coat on you'd need a water-based isolation layer. This layer helps the
MSA distribute evenly on the surface without soaking too much into the
absorbent inkjet receptive layer. I use an airbrush to apply the
Golden GAC 500 diluted with airbrush transparent extender. The
airbrush can apply an extremely fine layer of polymer which does an
excellent job in binding the fragile top layer.

At this point I still think the Lascaux is the easiest to use as you
can apply it directly. With the MSA you have to stop before a
reflection develops. The main goal is to apply the strongest coating
with very minimal changes to the print's surface. Using my technique I
can achieve a much tougher coating than Lascaux.

It took me a long time to come up with this coating approach to
preserve the beautiful surface of the Hahnemulhle William Turner
paper.
