not sure if there is ammonia in Windex, but it is not recommended on varnished surfaces. I would think it may cause an issue with the paint.

Thank you so much for making this video. I made acrylic skins for jewelry and I do have silicone in my paints, do I still need to clean the skins if I am using a glass cabochon or is the cleaning with baby powder only for when using resin? Your videos are so calming and always full of wonderful information.
@ChristinaWelch

I would still clean the skin with alcohol so the glass will adhere correctly.

Hey Christina, now that I watched all three of your videos ( thank you for such detailed information ) on drying, cleaning, and varnishing I know I have been doing it all wrong and too soon. Are my paintings going to be ruined in time? Still in the learning faze so they are no masterpieces but I would hate to give a painting to someone that isn't going to hold up.
@ChristinaWelch
@ChristinaWelch 5 жыл бұрын
I wouldn't say they are ruined, but in future works, allowing paintings to cure 2-4 weeks after they are dry.

Yes, the baby powder I use now is cornstarch. It doesn't work as well as straight baby powder, but it does remove most of the silicone. I've seen some use flour as well.

I’m a bit confused....I went to art school and was taught to never scrub a painting like that. Does the powder not damage it? I’ve been painting for 20yrs and have never done this before varnishing, and yes I know this is explaining how to clean after using paint with silicone, but I’m still a bit perplexed by it 🤔🙂
@ChristinaWelch
@ChristinaWelch 5 жыл бұрын
this is a super soft bristle brush, the baby powder does nothing to the finish. We only use this method with paint containing silicone. We have no scratches or blemishes cleaning our paintings. Acrylic paint when dry is water resistant as well.

Linda Dunstan only if you are using silicone to create cells. You have to remove it before you varnish or resin. If you are not using an additive, you can just clean your paintings with a warm rag to remove dust. Thank you for watching! 💕

Hi, Christina...I keep a close eye on my paintings and pop any air bubbles I can. But they form air bubbles, like several hours later when I feel it is too late to torch (or overnight) and it’s too late. So I know to sand stuff prior to resining, but can you sand prior to varnish? Or won’t varnish cover up the marks? Thank you for all you do!

I don't sand for varnish, only for resin in between coats.

at least one day. If you don't get the silicone off, the varnish won't stick to the spots where the silicone is.
