Re: gum preservatves
Thank you! Now that you say that, I remember the section about it in the "Learn" part of your former website. (Adding lemon juice and staining... I'm not making it up right?) Judy's note on sizes was interesting and real food for thought, BTW. Ryuji's notes also were interesting -> I mean the probability of citric acid (or any other organic acids) interacting with dichromate in an unwanted manner. That powered my original position which was increasing the acidity by not adding alien compounds... (Still don't know if that can work or not -> I may do some tests in the future if the exposure times become unbearable to me and/or I can't do nice casein prints...)
