Travis Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 ...the Intarsia is colored with (sorry to say) Highlighter pens ... Really!? Wow. I would have never thought of that. That's a great idea. Now you got my wheels turning. Hmmm....I wonder if other markers would work well. Did the color run or bleed at all when you added your topcoat finish? Did the marker go on evenly without streaks?

grampa Posted May 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 Hi, No the color is ok if you let dry and apply top coat with a brush (do not use a cloth to apply top coat) has for streaking it doese on large pieces but if you rub it with a soft cloth straight away the streaks blend in....Paul ...the Intarsia is colored with (sorry to say) Highlighter pens ...
