[alt-photo] Re: no shrink, no size tricolor gums

[Trevor Cunningham]

  Thanks guys, this has been some of the most useful dialogue on this 
process I've seen in a while.  Just finally getting my hands into some 
gum, I think I just need a nudge here and there to learn just what 
variables I need to be paying attention to. So far, I walking away with 
options to test the amount of dichromate I'm using, as well as my 
exposure and coating strategies. I get very consistent results with 
cyanotype, so a gum-over just makes sense to me. As long as I can work 
into a similar consistency with gum, I have lots of ideas to play with.
