\uff11\uff0eCovering\/Protecting the work surface<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nThere is a possibility of alcohol or ink splattering onto unexpected surfaces. If you are concerned about your table getting dirty, we recommend using a plastic sheet or any kind of cover for protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I often cut and spread garbage bags, securing them to the table for my work. Using plastic materials like garbage bags is preferable over newspapers or paper since ink can seep through. You can also consider finding a large tray, similar to a basin, at places like Daiso(doller store), and work within it. Choose a method that suits you, and if necessary, take precautions to protect your work area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And having kitchen paper on hand would be even better. For minor ink splatters, you can easily wipe them away by dampening the kitchen paper with a bit of alcohol. You might wonder, ‘Why not use tissue?’\u2014well, in alcohol ink art, dust is a significant adversary. Tiny fibers come from various sources, and when they stick to the paper during the art process, it can cause fibers to adhere or lead to a rough surface, affecting the appearance. Tissues tend to release fibers easily, so having kitchen paper or something with minimal fiber is recommended.

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nTape the surroundings with masking tape to secure them. Since the paper is prone to flying with the dryer’s air, it’s easier to work with when initially secured. Additionally, when attempting resin finishing, you’ll use masking tape to protect the surroundings, so please have it ready.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\uff13.\u3000Put on rubber gloves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nAlcohol ink can be quite stubborn. The ink may get into the spaces between your nails and stain them. If you’re concerned about hand stains or if alcohol doesn’t agree with your skin, please wear rubber gloves. Similarly, when working with resin, your hands can get sticky and messy. It’s advisable to have them on to prevent excessive staining.
<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you’re considering trying resin finishing, it might be a good idea to have them ready in advance.

\uff14.\u3000Ready for alcohol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
The role of alcohol is to extend the ink, serving as a lubricant. Please use alcohol with a concentration of 90% or higher for art purposes. The alcohol used for disinfection has a lower concentration, and the ink does not spread well. Using a higher concentration enhances color vividness, making it easier to create art.
<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen using cups and syringes<\/strong>
The amount of alcohol used at once varies for each person, but I prefer to pour in only the amount needed for a small cup and refill it as it runs out. (You can use any cup you have at home.) Since alcohol is volatile and has a scent, I prefer adding it gradually. Once you’ve poured alcohol into the cup, use a syringe to spread the alcohol.
