Perhaps if you wanted to use a lot of paint you could add a drop of detergent to the paint - but you would still get buckling with the moleskine paper. I only use a thin layer of paint which doesn't give cartoon-style colour density but allows the paper to shine through and, I think, has a slightly old fashioned and playful look about it - the buckling is minimal.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15003579922396408184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1185780207851012954.post-27496689774487371582008-05-28T19:10:00.000-07:002008-05-28T19:10:00.000-07:00I had not heard of using soap either.
