Re: Masa-gum question for Keith Gerling
Thanks, much. I've been quite happy with Arches bright white, until
it came time to order a new box, and the $100 price tag (substantial
increase in the last year or two) what with things being the way they
are these days is making masa look definitely attractive to me. By
the way, I spent some time again yesterday looking at your dancers on
masa, you've really got some great prints there.

No. To recap: I was having problems getting a smooth and even
emulsion coat without having the dry surface absorb before the
emulsion could be spread. Humidification addressed this. With masa
all kinds if problems ensued (all caused by the paper being very
thin), so I started misting the paper and then immediately coating.
Now, I just add the water to the emulsion (I was using 1 to 1
gum/saturated Pot Di - now more like 1 to 1 to 1.5 gum, sensitizer,
water). Everything goes on really smooth.

Keith, I remember you saying, a while back, that you humidify
paper before
coating. Do you do that with your masa paper as well?
