I have found that I can apply a layer of Dorland's Wax over the page when it's completely finished...let it harden, and then buff to a nice sheen. It gives the page a wonderful finish that does not stick together and it also seems to bring back the richness of color to the acrylic paint!

Sticky pages in an Art JournalNEW by: Anonymous
To keep "Yes Paste" from sticking in my art journal pages, I sometimes dust the page VERY LIGHTLY with corn starch. I then use a clean soft brush over the page.

LOTS of options!NEW by: Susi
Wow, so many potential solutions to try out -- thanks for the numerous detailed suggestions, Milliande! Like Lorrie, I think I may not have done enough "curing" in the past. Today I incorporated some graphite on the left side of a journal spread and some wax crayons on the right...time to give a spray fixative a try! ...with a test sample, because I tend to err on the side of caution. Though I must say that your example, Milliande, of playing and experimenting so freely encourages me to loosen up...

Hi Suzi -
thanks so much for asking this question. I was wondering the same thing. After reading Milliande's suggestions I think that I haven't been letting mine cure long enough! I'm also going to give spray fixative a try. Thanks again for asking & thanks Milliande for answering.
