I haven't encountered the lint problem nor do I have to clean the pieces.<br /><br />What I suggest you do cover the printout with an upside down box or plastic container to keep the dust away while drying. Same thing once you have sprayed with sealer. This is the same trick used with resin when it is curing. Hope this helps.The Beading Gemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10373750828368944711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312145685876120575.post-58259206301119529252013-01-06T18:17:02.991-05:002013-01-06T18:17:02.991-05:00I'm starting to make jewelry with the inkjet s...I'm starting to make jewelry with the inkjet shrink plastic, has anyone had any problems with lint/dirt getting stuck to it after baking? I clean as best as I can and then when I seal it with acrylic spray it's like more lint gets stuck in there.
