Thanks for the report Marek. Unfortunately we don't have Gamblin
products here in Turkey. Do you have any idea about the formula? I can
find PVA but I'm not sure which one to buy and how much to use...

Not directly related but just wanted to mention: For those who are
interested in "casein", the miracle sizing is cheap acrylic gesso 1+4
(or 1+5) with water.

Regards,
Loris.
