Re: My own PVA glue sizing experience (attn: marek + the gum woesagain)
Thanks, Paul, it's just one gum coat on top of the palladium print. Actually, I have the print in front of me right now and the mixture I used coated this 8x10 print and a 6.75" x 12" print using a foam roller (the axes image from another alt list email thread about ambidextrous coating) was: 0.2g M. Graham ivory black 0.2g Daniel Smith burnt umber 0.1g DS Indian Red 0.1g Winsor & Newton Perylene Maroon 0.1g DS Indian Yellow 0.1g DS Terra Verte 6mL saturated ammonium dichromate 6mL gum 6 drops everclear -Jeremy- On Fri, Oct 23, 2009 at 5:12 PM, Paul Viapiano <viapiano@pacbell.net> wrote: > Jeremy... > > The print is awesome. > > How many layers of gum...?
