Re: Arches Aquarelle and Gum



Loris,

The packet doesn't say (as far as I can remember). It is the only Fabriano
artistico I have found here in Oz. I realized you were very carefully making
a distinction - just as I hit the send button.

I use a formula with oxalic acid in the coating solution. I havent used
anything else because it works so well. Apart from that, everything else is
standard - except not totally drying the coated paper before use. I'll send
you the formula and any other info when I get home tomorrow and can consult
my notes.

cheers
Catherine
