[Willen, Matthew S]

Sorry Christina, can't make sense of the last sentence/question? I am
starting to think there is something about the sizing going on here.
Pigment, et al, has worked and worked. I'm thinking back to the day of
sizing, which was cool, and there were (perhaps) a couple of sheets where
the gel was getting a bit on the thick side more quickly than I wanted.
Perhaps this? M
