| The shoe polish darkened the clip-art and brought out the edges. I don't know if I like the brush marks, which I didn't see before. What do you think? In future I will use a fake credit card or better strokes. | |
| I used Lab Hydrion pH Test paper to test the Kiwi Shoe- polish and Modge Podge and they weren't Acidic | |
