Stamping with SU white craft ink

[jh56]

Hello all. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year

What is the secret with SU white craft ink??? I stamped the crystal heavy
cardstock (clear) with the white craft ink in baroque almost a week ago.... Today I probably put the heat tool to it for approx a min and a half.
Will it ever dry? It is still quite tacky and wet.
Please Help!

Thank you
Jane

I am not sure what the paper you are using is but I see it says clear after it- so I assuming that the paper is clear. The white craft ink is a pigment ink and may not dry if the paper is coated unless you emboss it. I think if I were you I would try White Stazon as this would dry for you in a few seconds.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help-

I've had the best results using white Stazon with acetate. Like Diane posted above, using pigment ink on coated papers isn't really recommended...you'll have a really hard time getting it to dry (if it dries at all!). You have the option to emboss on glossy cardstock, but if you want to emboss on acetate (clear transparency type sheets), you'll have to make sure it's able to withstand the heat from your heat gun. Otherwise, the acetate will warp or melt. Hope that helps!

Even embossing doesn't always yield good results on slick surfaces -- I've seen the stuff chip right off!
