I did indeed have to do multiple coats.
I also had to use more pigment than in Pete's recipe.
Maybe due to the brand and type used?
I used Liquitex in the squeeze tubes.
I am curious- Pete what brand/type of pigment do you use?
As Pete mentions below, I also used a small foam roller to do the coating.
Unfortunately, my images were of high contrast to begin with so may not
be the best test of the process.
They were monochromatic, and I used dark pigments.
I do plan on trying some color separations using the process and see how it
goes.
I'll chime in to the list with an update of how it goes when I have more
time.
