Well, it depends on what you value, but for standard gelatin sizing, I think glut is a pretty good hardener that works very well... Those who lack good ventilation to take care of the fumes might want to use bisepoxides (search for my past postings), which also works very well, but I recommend to give a minimum of one week time between coating of sizing and using the sized paper. In my experience, bisepoxides are excellent hardeners but they take time to harden gelatin. -- Ryuji Suzuki http://silvergrain.org
