Possible Non-Toxic Silver Rag Solution

2006-07-05 by Clayton Jones

Hello All,

On a hunch I just applied some hardware store caliber Johnson's wax to
part of an SR print, let it dry, then buffed it.   The result was
greatly reduced glare, pebbly-ness, and GD.  This wax is not clear
though, and I'm wondering if Renaissance Wax might be good.  Does
anyone who is using SR have any and can try it?

One thing I found, the wax spreads easily on the dark zones where lots
of ink is, but not on the higher zones.  The tacky paper surface
doesn't like anything remotely moist.  So the wax has to be applied
liberally in such a way that the application tool (finger, cloth,
whatever, does not contact the paper surface.  

Seems to me this has some potential...


Regards,
Clayton
