    • Gently press the wet cotton pad onto cracked areas for 3-5 seconds repeatedly.

    • Don't press too much on one area as this will lift and possibly remove the ink from that area.

    • Let the acetone dry for 3-5 minutes

    • Not letting it dry will cause the ink to separate again during the curing process.

  4. sQbW6JCZNQuEWg5R

    • Tape parchment paper on top of the cracked area.

    • With the flattening iron (or steam iron), apply heat through the printed area to cure the ink.

    • The ink will be extremely hot during and after this step!
