I tried acrylic spray for watercolor work on a palladiotype printed on Arches Platine. No perceptible change in Dmax, no glossy finish neither. Disappointed.
Maybe polyester resin, or acrylic resin for inclusions would work. Anybody tried ?

| While wading through the 978 messages in my inbox (OHHH,
|btw, I have to
|tell you all that when I went to Japan I brought with me 199pp
|of single
|spaced, 11 pt. type, notes from the alt list and the silver
|list, and EDITED
|them for two weeks into categories, for better retrieval on my
|part; one of
|the tidbits in my notes was this Future floor polish thing.
|My goal for the
|new year is to test cyanotype, van dyke, tintype, salted
|paper, and gum now
|that I have finished testing all the experimental processes I
|ever need to
|and then some...) I took the time to go grocery shopping with
|my husband and
|bought Future acrylic floor finish. He was shocked when I put
|it in the
|cart, I'm sure, thinking I was actually going to do some
|cleaning (ha), but
|for $5 I thought it'd be worth a try, as someone had mentioned
|that you can
|use it to make dried leaves glossy and archival for table
|decorations and
|maybe it had applications to increase dmax of alt prints. So
|I brushed it
|onto an old cyanotype and it was interesting! It did raise
|the dmax of the
|print and gave it a mild gloss, but what it also did was
|change the color of
|the cyanotype away from the warmer turquoise-ish blue that it
|is normally to
|a richer, more navy blue. And it smells good, too. Has
|anyone else tried
|this since the original poster mentioned it?
