For years I sprayed my pt/pd prints with McDonalds Luster. I learned this
from Tom Millea back in 1984, who used it to enhance the depth of blacks.
A chemist at UT Austin examined the contents and said there was nothing
that could damage the paper. And, it's easily removed with Acetone
anyway, which is photographically inert.

When McDonalds dropped the Luster in spray cans I tried their semi-gloss
but it took on a nasty yellow patina very quickly. I'm testing some
acrylics now but don't have a final word on them. Anyone on the list have
wisdom on acrylics and paper?
