Prep necessary for Yupo?

[Jayhawk]

i though I saw in here somewhere that Yupo should be wiped down with alachol before painting but don't find it. Maybe it my imagination. Any thoughts?

I do it with all my synthetic papers, just to remove any fingerprints caused by handling, thus removing any chance of paint not sticking, just a preference of mine, no evidence that its of benefit but figure it cant hurt to have it super clean and ready for paint

You can use alcohol or Windex, I have never cleaned my paper and have had no issues

What these guys said! I haven't bothered but it would be good practice.

 

[Jayhawk]

Ok, thanks. I'll give it a go

I use windex, and then let it dry well before starting work. I am a bit ham fisted, and have had trouble with finger prints before - which is why I now clean with windex before starting.
