And if you do one coat gum, no need to preshrink. The trick of course is
to be certain in advance it's going to be one coat.
Meanwhile, I have *never* found a paper that didn't shrink on first
wetting, though maybe I didn't try a "quality hand made paper." Is Buxton
hand made? That certainly shrank plenty. Any others you care to mention?
But those are stern warnings from the gum police about doing too many
coats. When the mood -- and the need-- are upon me I can do a dozen. I
would say, however, that telling another printer how many gum coats are
proper and necessary is an exercise in --------- (fill in the blank).
