Several years ago I bought some of these print boards with the intention of
putting some carbon images on them. I figures they needed to be first sized
so i coated a few of them with gelatin but that caused them to turn black.
I cleared them with sulfuric acid back to a smoooth finish but now they
have all turned black and varous shades of other colors. Nothing I have
done so for cleans the boards.
What would I do to clean the boards and stabilize the finish that would
allow me to put images on them?
