***At the 9 minute mark i accidentally cut out the rest of that sentence. The point of the roller is to quickly smooth any drips that I may get. I gently roll the surface of the print, removing the drip. With timeless, this is more difficult to do due to the fast dry time. With Glamour 2, the slower dry time and self leveling makes this very easy.

Haha I know, I’ve been lagging big time. I’m hoping to get back to a weekly (maybe every other week :)) upload schedule. Thanks for waiting and watching!

Awesome, I’ve been doing exactly the same and framing without glass, I do one heavy coat then 2 light ones, the clients absolutely love the look. It keeps my profit margin up! I must say I really like the look of optica one, I use it for snowy photos, but I hate the paper, I find it ugly and it creases so easily! There elagance velvet paper is a beauty tho. I do the bulk of my panos with Ilford smooth cotton paper for the same consistency. Just gives great results every time and is predictable. It was great to see someone doing things the same way, especially someone with your experience 😊

I haven’t had issues with creasing but I usually go right from the printer to the laminator for mounting. I haven’t used ilford smooth cotton in a while, I might need to give it another look. I haven’t tried the elegance velvet yet. What I like about optica is the level of detail. I often find rag papers to lose a lot of that fine detail. Also, I was just checking out your website. Fantastic work! “Breakthrough” is absolutely incredible! I’m a sucker for panos. Really good stuff.

Oh yea, you can varnish over varnish successfully ( I typically roll 3-4 thin coats). When starting out, I saw many ugly dust blobs after varnishing. I found I could use steel wool to flatten/remove them, then re-varnished and the blobs became almost invisible. Not something I'd want to do for many prints, but it can work.

I should have mentioned that. I mostly meant for spraying it’s best to stick with one because the print is vertical. But yes with rolling I imagine you could easily get away with more coats. The steel wool would stress me out haha! I’ll have to try that. Great idea.

@@MrNegative Yep. I also place the print vertically, even for rolling. You'd think I'd get lots of drips, but if you use thin coats and roll, roll, roll until it becomes just tacky (you can hear this happen), the drips never happen.
