Re: My own PVA glue sizing experience (attn: marek + the gum woesagain)

loris,
that's why i asked you if you could check for the adherence. thanks for 
that btw.
i will order some of the gamblin next week, to try next.

i know the strips aren't good, but if the conditions stay like in the 
second example (the stainfree one on caparol i just sent again), that's 
something i can work with and improve. btw there is also no curve 
applied at all, so it's supposed to be detail in only two or three lines 
of the scale. if the outcome is stained and/or inversed like that, there 
is no real point to trying to make fine adjustments.
you'd have to take my word for that, but the conditions of the two test 
strips were identical (at least concening ingredients and workflow and 
as far as i can tell). this sounds pretty stupid, but the last time i 
got the stain (two weeks ago), it was rainy weather outside and 
yesterday it was rainy again. so maybe it really has something to do 
with humidity...
