Future floor wax help!

[veramats]

Hi everyone, I just used future floor wax in my aquapainters and did the Painted Pearls techique. I let the card dry overnight, and the pearl ex still rubs off with my finger. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help!

Just bumping this up. Hope you get an answer.

Maybe you picked up too much PE on the brush?

Another question on PE What can you do with them You can't emboss can you??

Maybe not enough wax? I have had problems controlling the flow with aquapainters before and getting too much or too little liquid. I just don't have the magic touch. I actually use paint pots to hold my floor wax (or you can just dip into the bottle) and use a cheapo paintbrush to apply. It gives me more control, especially on small areas.

Spray the finished piece with a light layer of hairspray - you will still get a bit of rub off but not too much - that is how I was taught when I learned pearl ex - not that I have done the technique since but that is how I was told to finish the piece - hope that is helpful to you.............
