RE: Miracle size for gum
Just to add to the milieu of PVA sizing products being discussed, could Golden Acrylic Medium Matt be used as a sizing medium? This product may have been discussed previously on the list though I can't recall when or what context. I do seem to recall that Michael Mutmanski may have used the glossy version - diluted, to impart a slight gloss to palladium prints. http://www.danielsmith.com/Item--i-100-200-023 I believe Dick Sullivan has been using this product to size paper for carbon transfers. When I visited him at the Carbon Works in August '08 he showed me samples of carbon transfer prints made on Lenox paper that was sized with Golden Acrylic Medium. The product obviously worked but looked slightly dull for a carbon transfer, however based on Marek's experimentation with the different dilutions of Gamblin PVA perhaps a more optimum dilution could be determined for the Golden product.
