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
