This new-generation acid resist has been specially designed as part of the acrylic-resist etching system. The lines, marks and textures which can be generated by using this resist in its soft state are comparable to those offered by traditional soft grounds (soft drawn marks and collage textures).
Lascaux Soft resist is water-soluble, ready to use, nontoxic and suitable for use on copper, brass, zinc, steel and aluminium. This slow drying resist is designed to offset easily, allowing a range of image-making methods to be explored. When the layer of resist is dry it may be drawn into with a range of etching tools or stopped-out. It is compatible with the other Lascaux resists and photopolymer resists such as Photec.
