I wish, I saw your video just a couple of days before. It was my first experience with linocut and it it was a disaster...your video gave me a hope that the next time won't be a complete mess
you can wash the brayer with pine sol and water i just have a container with it and reuse when needed to clean and I just Windex the panel I use to put ink on
It's been working for me used the same brayer for over a year now and I use a 1/4 tsp or more mix with hot water and wash it off then place it out to air dry or get a cheap paper towel cause they don't have those little fibers on the outside like most uh brand name paper towels and you can just wipe off remaining water so there's no moisture trapped in the rubber or just use scrap paper or a old phone book and wipe away the ink till it's fully off your brayer! ❤@@maddeerpress1196 Hope that helped! 😁
And when cleaning a block best to do sooner than later or it'll require cotton swaps, paper towel, a rag, and pine sol + water. But if you do it right after printing it'll glide off like paint rather than ink sealed to your rubber stamp or lino block 🥰
Yes. For oil-based. For water-based I would just use a little water with a tiny bit of soap. You can mix oil and water-based inks, just clean them as you would oil-based.
Thank you for talking your way through the demonstration, careful to mention exactly what kinds of cleaning solutions you were using. The most annoying demo method is the musical "enhanced" time-lapse speed demo....... they appear to be entertainment oriented. That's not why we visit these demos, however. Thanks again

Do the brayers hold up well over time? I've never tried pine sol. Sounds tidier.

Any recommendations on storage of finished prints, using oil based inks as the medium and acid free paper as the substrate?
I use a flat file. Many people interleave with glassine. You could also build a portfolio and lay it under your bed.
super!!
Is this just for oil-based ink? Or does this work for water-based as well?
Yes. For oil-based. For water-based I would just use a little water with a tiny bit of soap. You can mix oil and water-based inks, just clean them as you would oil-based.
baby wipes won’t work?
Baby wipes do work. I live in an arid climate though and they dry out really fast. My way of doing things is absolutely not the only way!
