RE: PVA size concentration for gum printing
Judy, It's on http://unblinkingeye.com/Articles/3CG2/3cg2.html. Keith uses Fusion 4000 tissue (whatever that is, dry mounting tissue I guess). The article also mentions that he does size but doesn't say what with. I'm not sure if the web article is word for word the same as the View Camera article.

I tried a couple of methods from old books: One was pure nightmare, and left the print in shreds. As I recall it used shellac as the binder, but it didn't "snap" off the aluminum as promised... it only left in scraps. The second was more successful.... as I recall a coat of wax which just had to be warmed a tad.... but that's from memory. I'll check. (I think it's in either P-F #8 or #9 but I'm supposed to be rushing out now, so don't stop to check -- lest I end up in the studio instead.) J. No virus found in this incoming message.
