Sharon R - Great suggestion! I've added a few drops of Distress Ink (from a reinker bottle) to some of the pens that I've tested, and it definitely makes it easier to see.
@@kdotbecca I've not tried "curing" the spray adhesive through the laminator yet. I have found that simply rubbing the foil onto Zig or Quickie glue that the foil rubs off and glue remains tacky.
You couldn't have shaded results to save Dura-Lar's face? Acetate's superiority, in this test at least, is an inconvenience, but it does show your experimentation's thoroughness. Even if it isn't the result I wanted. It's funny, the Minc mist did a slightly better job this time, but in most applications the non-Minc products are closer to what you want. In general, Minc seems to make better "hardware" than "software."
Hey, Keith! I was also surprised that acetate reigned supreme in this case since it's been so tricky with all of the other "toner ink" pens that I've tried. I think that the thinner consistency of the E6000 worked against it, overall, for this. If I can find a glue that has a consistency more like the Minc Reactive Mist, then I'll definitely be trying that out.
Would be interesting to see a test with some paper that has sizing in it, such as high-quality hot press watercolor paper.
Thank you!
I was thinking that perhaps you could add a tiny drop of ink into the E6000 so that you can see where the product is going?
