carschdn, we put the smoother side up (against the Rosco screen) and the textured side down (against the acrylic). It was a best guess at the time, so feel free to experiment and see if the other side produces better blobs. But having tested a bunch of materials, it was generally the side with the “glue” or “texture” that simulated the bonding of human skin against the acrylic.
rokingana, keep us posted on your findings, and feel free to contact the makers of Sulky Solvy We were able to get IR LEDs produced by asking a manufacturer/supplier, so maybe they can produce custom sheets of Sulky Solvy for us. They’ll probably look at you funny though, as they wonder what kind of garment you’re sewing that requires such a large piece of Sulky Solvy!

Hello Jim !!
The company that produces this product is German: Gütermann.com
They have a bigger size 1 x 25 meter roll
Still negotiating some samples ... to try it out before buying all that Sulky Solvy ... But until now having good feedback.
Also the US contact was very helpful ... have fun !!!
We’ve tried the Sulky Solvy route to no avail, we get zero anything through the Rosco Grey. Turn the screen round so you’re touching the bare acrylic gives us better results. Did you use one layer of Solky? We have pretty much mirrored your setup, no joy. :(
Concerning the Sulky Solvy. I wonder if the effect works because the sulky solvy is “stretched” over the surface,
which leaves me with the thought that there might be an air gap between
the solvy and the acrylic. Can you tell for certain that the sulky solvy works also if it’s not stretched, but rather just put loosly between rosco and acrylic?
Does dragging work just in the same way without stretching it?
Well, at least it does not work with my setup.
If not stretched, I have to press real hard to get any blobs with sulky solvy. Even worse with Ultra Solvy.
WEll, WEll!!! this is a goog post!!! i would like to know how can a find something like Sulky Solvy in Mexico City, about the Rosco its ok, i find it in mexico but, i was trying to find SulkySolvy and here is hard!!! i keep searching, it seems to be a god solution, never loosing faith!!!!
