Re: [sudo-discuss] wax printer

Ya, but pyralux, isn’t photosensitive. I wonder if there is some kind of brush-on polymer paint that is UV curable and the rest can be washed off? The UV cured portion would change from being somehow water soluble to acetone/alcohol soluble. Maybe that’s even what you’re talking about. Would love to know about it if it exists.
