[Alt-photo] Re: Yupo question

[Geoff Chaplin]

One think Alex Chater (co-developer of the temperaprint process) suggested
to me was "difficult surface primer" which he said works well and passes the
sellotape test. I haven' tried it yet but I have a mountain of Yupo and
found I'm allergic to the smell of eggs (so no more tempera printing for
me).

Stella,
 
I think that roughening of the  yupo surface is a good idea. Just cleaning
it with some kitchen cleaning powder should perhaps be good for noth
roughening the surface and cleaning it. Wash it and dry without touching. 
 
In terms of coating you should watch the video that I posted. Spread some
gum solution with a brush and then smooth it out with a foam roller. You can
take away some coating by rolling the roller on a dry paper towel and on the
coated yupo in turns. You can not get layer thin enough just by brushing
IMO.
 
Lets us know how it works.
