RE: My own PVA glue sizing experience (preliminary)
David, yes I feel so. Unfortunately my dimroom is a mess right now (I'm about to move), therefore I can't elaborate further. (I may not be able to print for a couple of weeks.) In case you want to try it yourself the full product name is "Fil-fix Şeffaf" (şeffaf = transparent in Turkish), ask specifically for this one. (Fil-fix is a product family name actually.) Istanbul price for the 750g container is TRY 8.50 (~ GBP 3.50, USD 5.80). See the label for production date; it keeps only 1 year unopened, under ideal conditions. BTW, the odor is agreeable and it doesn't change the color of the surface. (It's white when applying it, then it becomes transparent when dry.) Regards, Loris. ________________________________ From: davidhatton@totalise.co.uk [mailto:davidhatton@totalise.co.uk] Sent: Thursday, October 22, 2009 12:40 PM To: alt-photo-process-l@usask.ca Subject: Re: My own PVA glue sizing experience (preliminary) It's helpful to me Loris. It looks like you could get away with a more dilute application doesn't it? I would love to see how it holds up to three or four coats. Let us know how you get on. Many thanks Davidh
