Hi Macy

Your questions---

At the most 5 ml of gum plus five ml of dichromate. This will cover two or three
10 x 8 s.
Mix the gum with the pigment to trhe tone you need.

In the freezer yes. Otherwise don't.

and how long before

Within twelve hours at 70F.

Use the spoons from the chemist which are 5mm at one end and 2.5 ml at the
other.
