Rita,
Rabbit glue is literally glue made from
rabbit skin, but you can use any water soluble glue including gum. For
paintings, we use paste made from starch (arrowroot or corn starch is fine). If
you are not going to use the board as final support and will remove the print,
then any glue will work.

Henk and Dave,
A very interesting suggestion. But what...um...is rabbit
glue? Will wet prints stick with rabbit glue (do you affix them after
processing, which, in my case, is traditional wet silver processing)?
And what's a good source for aluminum sheets?
I like the idea of the "shiny" effect, because drying in pellon or
blotters seems to really dull the blacks in the prints.
Thanks,
Rita
