Me graining the stone with 80 grit. In order for the stone to be process ready for a design, it must be grained down with carborundum to 180-220 for optimal results.
Rosining and Taulking the stone (which acts as a protection to the image) before I etch.
This motion is called 'tightwiping' the stone, to ensure that the Rosin and Taulk are fully covering the surface of the stone before applying the etch.
With the wash already applied and stabilized to the stone (first etch) I am preparing to do my second etch, so that I can print (an hour later)
Applying Gum Arabic with etch (acid) to the stone.
Soon I will post some printing process work.
