Hi folks,
    I'm not sure where this thread started, but I use artist's acrylic
(water soluble), and a small rubber squeegee.  You can see my process abt
half way down the page at:

(the captions are above the pix)
    That was my first attempt, didn't repaint the panel.  I've done it a
few times since, it's easier after some practice.
