kees,
because the art supply store i buy my stuff from sells it cheaply in big 
units. they also have it listed under the name "technical gelatin" - so 
i guess it behaves a lot like normal gelatin. i haven't noticed any 
differences to normal gelatin yet. i use it for sizing without 
hardening. i should probably make a face to face test with some knox 
gelatin from the supermarket.
