Preparing for the Photography Show Fau Paux


I should know by now (from past experience...) that I shouldn't try new things when I'm ready to fall asleep on my feet. Last night I cut some foam core board for photography pics for the Clinton Arts Show. I spray-glued the photos on the boards and found it was easy and they looked pretty good. So tonight I wanted to finish the rest and get them turned in. If you'll notice in the photo below...there is a can of Krylon spray sitting on the table. The trouble is...it's NOT the Krylon Spray Glue...



(The following was written after the Clinton Days Art Show): I didn't realize I was using the Krylon Crystal Clear Satin Protective, Non-Yellowing Clear Finish to GLUE my pictures on the foam-core board! I walked into the show on Saturday and the person who was in charge of it, Suzanne Pearson (a good friend) made a beeline for me. She apologized for a couple of the mounted photos falling on the floor and and bending the corners. I told her it was not a problem. She then commented that "the person who mounted the photos did NOT know what they were doing - that a couple did not even stick." I said to her: "Uhhh, that person would be me." We both laughed. I then made the connection that I had grabbed the wrong Krylon product off the counter the spray-mount my photos. (Guess that clear spray will stick things together for a SHORT time...) Hopefully when I get ready to spray finish a couple of old pieces that I want to protect the patina on, that I will NOT use Krylon Spray Glue!
