I thought of using Scotchgard. Unfortunately my local arts supply store does not stock it and a quick visit to Target found them out of stock on that item. Just my luck.
Was cleaning out my garage one day and behind a box of medicine vials, masked by cobweb was a can of Camp Dry. This aerosol can must be 20 years old at least. It is a product used to water-proof boots, tarps etc. for outdoor activities. So I decided to give it a try. What the heck, I have nothing to lose and everything to gain. This whole thing about painting on silk was an experiment to begin with.
I wiped clean the aerosol can, followed the direction, 3 applications with 4 hours drying time in between. I sprayed generously onto my painting, not even bothering to test for discoloration or anything.
To my utmost gratification, the result is awesome. Not only is my painting repelling water like a shellacked hull, but the product also made the painting look richer. And the best part is, no glares!!
This pack rat has found salvation.
