I used to apply that with a spray gun from the gallon containers on
Chuck Henningsens' prints but after conversations with the good people
at Shure Guard, I would not apply it to any white paper. I would only
use it on cream or off white.
It does do a nice job of adding an apparent richness to the black.

Subject: Re: Protective coating on alternative prints?
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?
