Painting on foil/ Embossing Metal Encaustics?

Recently, I was going through a Blick art catalog and I saw this project page about Metal EncausticsI'd like to give it a shot, but the wax based paint that they have listed is a little pricey for meI've worked with embossing aluminum foil before, so I guess it'll be okI might just have to be a little more careful because the foil isn't as thick or heavy-duty as the metal sheets that are meant for it but my real question is What sort of paints can I use on my foil art? Would nail polish be ok? I want sort of a transparent feel with the colors themselves.Thanks for any help ]

Answer:

Your better off testing paints for yourself then to ask otherspainting on embossed aluminum foil isn't exactly a steady well known and practiced art.
200 kg lifted through 60 metres with an accn of 1m/s^2 WD against gravity mgh 200 x 9.81 x 60 117 720 J Force producing acceleration ma 200 x 1 200J F ma gives T - mg ma T mg + ma 2 162 N WD by T 2162 x 60 129 720 J This WD is used to lift the box and give it KEThe WD against gravity is mgh 117 720 (PE) The WORK left over is 129 720 - 117 720 12 000J which is used to provide KE 12 000 0.5(200)v^2 v ~ 10.95 m/s Had to use some dynamics as this is not just a statics question Total
a) F ma 200 x 1 200 Nwork done force x distance 200 N x 60 12,000 J b) Gravitational Potential Energy mgh 200 x 10 x 60 120,000 J c) Gravitational Potential Energy Kinetic Energy 120,000 1/2 x mass x v^2 120,000( 0.5 x 200 x v^2) 120,000(100 x v^2) 120,000 / 100 v^2 1200 v^2 v 34.64 m/s ( i'm not really sure about B and C) HAHA sorry i tried my best tho.
