Thanks for the tip, but my big problem today is the fact that I burn very slowly, so my project transferred by dammar varnish to the copper plate starts to oxidize along with the plate, making it difficult to see. That's why I'm looking for a way to keep the board free from oxidation for as...
This wax looks great, but because it possibly contains solvents, I believe it will remove the transferred design from the plate, as I use Dammar varnish and laser printed.
Thanks

That pen you mentioned, is it the one used as a permanent marker? Your suggestion sounds cool, especially because the use of alcohol helps to dry the surface and degrease it. Thanks
I would really like to try this Renaissance wax, but unfortunately I can't find it in my country, Brazil.
I'm going to try to import, but I'm afraid they won't let them into the country. I recently bought a set of 10 used burins, and they were banned from entering the country.
Best Regards
Dear friend, thank you for your help.
I've never tried the Renaissance wax. Here in my country, Brazil, you cannot find this type of material, I will try to import it, but unfortunately everything here is very bureaucratic, it seems that we live in a disguised dictatorship.
I recently...
Hello dear friend,
Thank you very much for the tips, I will try to do it the way you explained in detail. Perhaps my only difficulty will be printing on baking paper because I print in printing stores, as I don't have a laser printer, I believe that the store attendant will not want to use this...
Hello,
thank you very much,
I transfer it as follows; I apply a light layer of dammar varnish, and use a laser print on plain paper, dampen some cotton wool with nail polish acetone, and use a burnisher to rub it on.
Then I wait for it to dry for 1 hour and then I take it under running...
Hello Forum friends,
some time ago, I asked here how to prevent my copper plate from oxidizing. I'm practicing Intaglio, and the process takes a long time, so in a few days the plate is all stained.
I spoke to a great master engraver and he recommended cleaning my hands with alcohol before...
Hi Dani, thank you very much for the compliments, this style of engraving is very superficial, the burin does not penetrate very deeply into the plate, I always tried to examine the money bills with a magnifying glass, trying to observe the behavior of the lines, as this type of engraving is...
Thank you very much my dear friend, it helped me a lot, because in my country it is very difficult to find material for engraving, I will visit this site now.
Hello dear engraving friends,
I think I already commented in a topic here asking for help to avoid oxidation of the copper plate during engraving. I am recently dedicating myself to intaglio engraving. And this technique takes longer to complete the work, but before that my board is already...
Thank you very much for your words of motivation, for me as a beginner they are very important, I have learned a lot here on the Forum and this has helped me a lot. Regards.
