RE: Artistico Unsized?

Thanks Ron,

Unfortunately I don't have access to registration pins, dry mount  
tissue and a dry mount press. Ask any of these in any photographic  
supply store here in Turkey and you'll only get empty eyes and quitet ;)

I did something similar by affixing the paper to a piece of Yupo using  
diluted acrylic gesso. It works but takes long time, it's messy and  
deleterious to the smooth surface of the paper (Masa, the bakc is  
quite textured + brush marks / uneven application adds to the texture).

Regards,
Loris.
