RE: Artistico Unsized?
But it seems like the cost of the Masa + dry adhesive + Yupo still make it not so cheap anymore. Are you familiar with the wet mounting method for brush painting? I am thinking that you might be able to mount 2 pieces of Masa paper together, and instead of using traditional glue/starch, you can use diluted acrylic medium, and that will function as the glue and has some sizing effect two, so you achieve two things with one work, and the front and back would look the same, and you don't need the dry adhesive. Well, but of course adhesive + Yupo is fine too. I am just tossing in some ideas. Hope you don't mind. And it seems like a good paper to buy. If I can use it for gum print, I will use it. If I don't like it, I can use it for brush painting. If I still don't like it for that, I can use it for practice. :) Dave > -----Original Message----- > From: Loris Medici [mailto:mail@loris.medici.name] > Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2007 10:16 AM > To: alt-photo-process-l@usask.ca > Subject: RE: Artistico Unsized? > > Permanently -> not that I absolutely want to do so, but the > adhesive I chose (or I was able to find, if you like) > dictates that way... > > On the other hand, it's good to have Yupo on back of Masa > since the paper is quite thin and you already need something > white with a good reflectance figure behind it when mounting... > > Also, it often dries wavy and/or with wrinkles -> affixing > the paper to something more rigid cures that problem. > > Regards, > Loris. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Dave Soemarko [mailto:fotodave@dsoemarko.us] > Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2007 4:43 PM > To: alt-photo-process-l@usask.ca > Subject: RE: Artistico Unsized? > > > Loris, > > Are you trying to mount it to Yupo permanently, or are you thinking > about removing it after processing? > > > Dave > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Loris Medici [mailto:mail@loris.medici.name] > > Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2007 3:50 AM > > To: alt-photo-process-l@usask.ca > > Subject: RE: Artistico Unsized? > > > > I found a product called "3M Photo Mount Adhesive Spray" and > > will try this to mount a thin paper (Masa, 70gsm - that > > should make something like 32-33lbs...) to 0.125mm thick Yupo > > stock.
