So now I'm going to try to spot my fiber based print. Same method, I just load that brush up, get a little water on there. I actually like to use a little bit bigger piece of scrap paper and I really look at what I'm doing, and I want to build that up just a while. That paper is just, the difference is amazing to me, it just sucks it right up. You can see that spot right there. I mean it's literally, it's literally gone. And again, if you make a mistake it's okay to practice on prints I mean it's kind of what I have to do a lot. You'll get better at this as time goes on, and you can just rewash your print, so don't feel that if you make a mistake it's you know, the games over. I usually try to find, there's parts in the print that people are going to look at the most. If I have a hair by somebody's eye, that's really important to me. It's one I want to spot, that's a really hard spot, but this little hair is on this little guys head right here. I just want to fill that in. It's important when you're doing this again to be patient, not drink too much coffee, not have people calling on your phone. Just relax, take your time when you're spotting your prints.
