Hi Michael,
Yes, AA mottles very badly, especially if you put it in hot water. The hot water melts the gelatin in the factory sizing and makes it speckle and mottle like crazy.

Anyone offer opinions on using Arches Aquarelle with gum. I'm giving some a
good hot soak right now and it looks like it "mottles" (sizing?) in the 140F
temperature water. Is this bad? I'm just out of Rives right now. I haven't
see much mention of this paper in the archives in the context of gum. Thx.
