Just FYI, many artists have reminded me that Ralph Mayer was wrong about some things in his book. I wish someone would tell me which things, but apparently we can't take absolutely everything in that book as gospel.

As for de-lumping, I use a fan brush to go over a layer once I've painted it and it seems to de-lump pretty well. I don't put the paint on very thickly to begin with and I don't use much pressure on the fan brush so it doesn't blur what I've just painted.

A word of caution on Liquin: I know many artists love it but I had two paintings suffer some very severe de-laminating. Thankfully they were not commissions but they do look pretty bad, just one year after I painted them. I won't use that stuff again!
