Re: Gum Bichromate Print Clearing Question

[sam wang <stwang@bellsouth.net>]

Hi Bruce,

I think it's a good idea to agitate some, though I don't think it's  
very critical.

There has been a lot of discussions on this list on the pros and cons  
of using the clearing solution a while ago, in case you missed them.

I'm glad to know you've done some gum printing. Want to tell us about  
your experience?
