Yes, Phillippe; I tried the acrylic spray, too (Krylon) and there was no
change in the print. I thought about calling Future and finding out exactly
what is in their floor polish, if they would tell me, but it is an acrylic
finish that can be removed only with ammonia mixed with their Floor Cleaner
stuff. I wonder if it is an acrylic resin?

Disappointed.
