Mr Oatis! Awesome job! Nice depth effect on the main copy. Is the bottom gold panel engine turned or is that matte and burnished diamond shapes? Cool!

Re: Blending behind glass problems

Eric
I agree with all of the above.
Straight 1 shot or adding Liquin is my choice.
Let it dry at its own rate, take your time, try not to rush it.
