As for gum + dichromate as hardener, I've tried it carefully, as have others. IMO its a PITA... very difficult or impossible to remove all subsequent tone, and has a different effect as base for print.
I agree with Judy that after testing it, I wouldn't be inclined to recommend dichromate-hardened gum as a size for gum.
