[alt-photo] Re: Storage life of diluted Gamblin PVA

[Don Bryant]

Kurt,

I've used Gamblin 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3. My preference for gum printing with
papers that are heavily sized but pre-shrunk is 1:2. For gum over palladium
I've noticed little difference between 1:1 and 1:2. Experiment and see what
you like.

I still prefer gelatin sized paper hardened with glut but Gamblin gives you
another tool for quick work when needed and doesn't look bad.

Hope this helps,

Don

How many passes or coats do you guys do?  Do you do full strength or dilute
2:1?
