RE: How many layers of gum is too many?



Hi Laura

It will still brush off after exposure. The emulsion is very fragile.

Leave the work you have an issue with and do a test or two, that should
reassure you.

What issues are you having?

John.

Thanks, good to know.

Unfortunately, I usually only have issues *after* exposure...
