Hi Rita, I always use two coats of hardened
gelatine (formaldehyde hardener) under emulsion. I do sometimes get air bubbles,
but mostly because of brushing too fast or just plain carelessness. I like the
matt texture of the emulsion on paper, but using gelatine size there is a subtle
shine. I'm interested in Ryuji's addition of AC235, might try this next time. It
was Kremer antifoam I was trying to remember by the way.

Henk and Ryuji,
Thanks, and, no, the advice is not too late. And I was pleased, and
surprised, by the thread you included from Ryuji; somehow that hadn't
come through to me directly from the list.
Since I'm coating on paper, which seemed to accept the emulsion well, I
hadn't been adding (additional) sizing. Am I making a mistake, Ryuji,
especially if I'd like a bit more shine to the surface?
Thanks again.
Rita
