7d: This sign is done with Artist Tracing Paper.
The sign was fixed with a spray of 50/50 mix of
Testor’s Dullcote and lacquer thinner to both sides
to stop the ink from running when water-based
glue was applied.
7d
The Dutchman and the Pepsi signs are on Architectural
Tracing Paper. They both got a very light coat of beige
background color on the wall before the signs were
applied. Again before the application of the signs, a coat
of Dullcote was applied front and back to seal the ink.
Once the signs were applied they were allowed to dry
overnight. The next morning I took a piece of emery
paper and sanded all the signs lightly to rub away some
of the detail.
You be the judge. If you like how the sign looks, and you
like this process, feel free to use it or improve it.
Note: Keep this in mind. If you do improve on this
process, please use the comment key at the end of the
story to tell me me what you did, so I can use it too.
