Re: My own PVA glue sizing experience (attn: marek + the gum woesagain)
Try to add calcium carbonate powder into the glue. Maybe that will make something usable? It works for acrylic gesso (with some reservations)... I may switch to PVAc glue if that works for me; PVAc glue is considerably cheaper than acrylic gesso to me. May not be so for others; art materials are usually priced high here in Istanbul. For instance, they sell an A3+ sheet of my favourite inkjet paper for USD 10, can you believe that!? The paper is Hahnemuehle Photo Rag Ultrasmooth BTW... I tried to tell them (the product manager at the distributor office) that they can't penetrate the market with those prices but it was like talking to a wall... 2009/10/23 phritz phantom <phritz-phantom@web.de>: > ... > caparol 1+4 on primed canvas and wood (a layer of white acrylic primer > beneath) did print fine, but the exposed gum had nothing to adhere to and > washed off completely. the situation was a little better on the canvas than > on the wood. > maybe this is interesting to someone
