Dot-art recipes that actually hold shape
Precise ratios + mixing order + surface notes = puffy 3D dots that don’t slump, glassy raindrops that stay clear, and matte finishes that look velvety: not dusty, all on your very next piece.
Fix the failures YouTube never solves
Craters, cracking, gummy tack, cloudy varnish, halo rings: use my quick diagnosis → fix flow to rescue a piece in minutes instead of tossing it (and your money).
