Thanks, Sven. Its all in the wash.I used to use Chloramine T for bleaching but switched to using Calcium Hypochlorite and at the right ph it works great. The results speak for themselves.

Thanks, Matt.I'm probably about 15 or so posters in and I think I've finally hit my stride where Im comfortable working on almost everything I have...I didnt do myself any favors by working on big posters either but at the end …Dry:
Freshly washed and mounted:
Getting back to working on some stuff...First thing I should mention is that I have changed all the wet work and its been for the better. (Thanks for the help, once again, Charlie)I tested on a cheap 70's US OS and everything w…Nice work, Charlie. Good to see you working on more stuff!Do those magazine ads have writing or another ad on the back?

Damn, I would be beyond pissed if that happened to me.I'd also say bidding wars may be partly to blame. I know I have succumb to that in the past on EMP...sometimes I just get mad and won't let the other fucker beat me even though I know I'm overpaying.I have used brushes with water, but really only to soften the color (from the water color pencil) if I'm having problems matching.

I see a bunch have some pretty bad stains that would have been improved even with a half assed wash. I'm assumin…Great stuff, Mark. Looking forward to see some more.Took the day off since i needed to burn a vacation day. Worked on this italian one panel (2 fogli) that I want for my office at home. Working on larger stuff is a bitch and working with newer paper is a bitch. Old paper is much more user friendly e…Thanks, Matt. I'm going to try and work on some stuff this weekend, will post if I do.add me to the "it sucked" column...I was ready to try to win the items I was interested in yesterday, but won't be home tonight. But I can understand why they did it....and you finish so much quicker.
Well, it is 10 inches....Its a Speedball Graphic Squeegee. They make several kinds for screen printing, this one said that it was ideal for working with paper so I bought it and it works really wellUploaded the picture again:
Not sure what happened with that picture of the one panel - will reupload and post againThanks guys. Oh yeah, my name is Fernando.
