Re: Miracle size for gum (CAPAROL binder)

[phritz phantom <phritz-phantom@web.de>]

loris,
i'm pretty sure there are similar products available in abundance. but 
at least in german language it's not that easy to find them. datasheets 
are sparse and if i can find one, everything's called "kunstharz" with 
no further specification.
although i called a local arts supplier about "grounds based on 
polyvinylacetate" and they were was clueless, neither did kremer suggest 
any alternatives to the gamblin size, like i asked them to.
well, i'll get the caparol end of this/ early next week. i'll report 
back with results asap.

funny name indeed. but not really surprising, since caparol has an 
elephant in their logo. "nerchau" is another name for the same company 
(i think).
