I had never heard of Cita Solv prior to seeing a tutorial on Youtube. There are so many articles and tutorials about using Citra Solv as a tool for creating some really beautiful art.
I had a hard time finding the right kind of Citra Solv at first. I finally ordered it online. I have spent hours pouring and brushing it on National Geographic magazines to alter the photos, turning them into beautiful papers that can be used for collage and other techniques.
A few days ago, I decided to tear my bedroom apart because I had seen 2 spiders and I thought a major cleaning might help. Did I mention that I HATE spiders? Anyway, behind my nightstand, I found some kind of disgusting, sticky mess - obviously the remains of something that I spilled a long time ago. I tried the OxyClean spray, nothing. I tried to scrape it off and it was so hard that it wouldn't budge. I was going to go with the, majorly, toxic Goof Off next, but then - wait a minute - Citra Solv practically eats thru paper, maybe I should try it. I barely touched it and it came right off. That product is a miracle! I went through my house like the white tornado. The stuff smells great.
Who would have thought that you could actually use the product for it's original purpose.
