ANSWER TO MYSTERY TECHNIQUE #123:

Kurd Kutter is the mystery ingredient from last month! It’s an easy way to erase acrylic ink from Yupo; you can remove the paint selectively or erase the entire painting and start over. Here’s a demonstration:

First I used a brush to paint Krud Kutter in a linear shape. As you can see in this example, you can also spatter it on with a brush or a tool like this one from Kemper. Next I wiped the Yupo with a paper towel to remove the dissolved paint and excess cleaning solution. To be sure all the Krud Kutter was gone, I finished by wiping the surface with water. Special thanks to Lisa Cantrell Wood for introducing me to this great product, which also works well as a household cleaner.
