Jon,
I was told by someone, I cant remember
who, but it was not anyone on this list, as far as I can remember,
although it was a long time ago when I was researching the adhering of
different papers to different supports. I didnt mean ''supports'' as we use
the word for the paper itself, but support for the paper i.e. the support
which is used to support the paper when processing. Anywho, I dont
really think there is much truth in the following, but then it may be
interesting to ruminate why anyone would spread such
information among serious artists but, then again, it would be a part of a
book which I am thinking of doing, called, ''How to Stick Your Paper. What Not
to Do.'' A must for all university and college libraries throughout the
World studying photography/art, photographic art, just art, just photography
and interior decor paper hanging.

''Water color paper is the cheap
variety which can be bought in pads from supermarkets.
Water colour paper is the high
status kind of paper which costs far more for one sheet than several pads
of the other stuff. This is the essential material if you are doing Fine
Art ( f /art ) image making.....where the value of the support is
considered, by some, to be of major
importance.''
But not forgetting the cheapest and most
widely used and useful of all.
W/C paper
BTW. He he he he he he .
Chortle, chortle. chortle.
I have started taking my chill pills,
again.

Get a
good quality two sided tape (expensive, the last roll I bought was
$10 at NY Central, but extemely handy generally), and put it a wee
bit
inside the edges to fasten paper to whatever you're fastening
to.

Will a wet print adhere with this tape? Is there a label which
identifies the maker of the tape? 'Sounds better than my pebble
method... .
Thanks,
