Ilford DW fiber base usable/suitable for gum printing

[Erie Patsellis <erie@shelbyvilledesign.com>]

In a rather serendipitous way, I've found myself with about 15 feet of 
48" wide Ilford double weight fiberbase paper due to fogging on my huge 
roll.
Being a child of depression era parents, I'd hate to throw it out if I 
can fix it and use it for gum printing. Anybody do this successfully?

Since my full time employer and I have parted ways, I'm only doing 
freelance work and going to school full time. Oddly, I 'm working fewer 
hours and making more money as well, and now have time to pursue some of 
my interests again.
