[alt-photo] dichromate stain

Paul,
(I keep sending from my wrong email address, so a resend.)

(Can you tell I am working my way down 100+ emails?) We sized the BFK 
with 1 coat of 1+2 water.  Right off the bat.  No problem with stain 
at all.  I told Marek I would come down to Houston and kiss him, which 
one of these days I will :)

I ordered a dozen bottles of PVA at my MSU bookstore and will dispense 
with the gelatin sizing method.  What is so great about teaching is I 
will have 18 guinea pigs who will all use PVA in various manners and 
working styles and if there is a problem to be had with PVA they will 
discover it.  But even before this class, I told four of my former gum 
students about it and all are using it and feeling like they died and 
went to heaven.

I imagine Gamblin will not know what hit them with all of a sudden  a 
huge run on PVA.
