A couple of drops of it cleans not only my brayers, my glass plates, my cut blocks, but my hands as well. <BR/> Anyway, just a hint from an old man to someone who delighted him with the thought of marigolds. --claive --Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19103263.post-89806822756931393552008-05-15T09:10:00.000-07:002008-05-15T09:10:00.000-07:00Hi Janet,I love this.

Glad you're working at home too.<BR/><BR/>I made the switch to Daniel Smith waterbased inks at home -- so much easier clean-up and no fumes. Yes they dry faster, but you get used to it and work in smaller batches. I consider the trade off worth it.Ellen Shipleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07806407695486557068noreply@blogger.com
