Rita,
Yes, it will
leave a residue, and because it was up against the smooth surface, you will see
it being shiny. Since it is on the back side, it shouldn't affect the look. If
your concern is about archival quality, you can use archival wheat paste used in
bookbinding. I think corn starch is probably as archival, but I don't know if it
has been studied for that.
If you happen
to have a bad (unsuccessful) print (do artists have bad prints?), you can try
one with corn-starch paste first, or use any glue just to see if you like the
effect. With some glue, you might not be able to peel it off, so you will need
to cut it out, but you can still see if you like the smoothering (smoothing?)
effect. If you like it, then you can search further for archival
paste.

Dave,
Thanks for the additional suggestions. Will the paste leave a
residue on the back of the paper (Gampi) after I remove it? Also,
regarding detaching the paper before it's totally dry (to
save more three dimensionality in the print), I find that seems to be
when it wrinkles up the most; when I dry the print in blotters
and then take it out when it's almost dry, it curls right up, much more so
than my other method which is to try to prints on screens with little stones
weighing down the edges.
'Good thing we enjoy the challenges of the complications, right?
Rita
