Shannon;
Depending on the amount of chemistry
you can always use coffee filters or even cupcake
papers. Just take a tare weight on the paper before
you start measuring out your chemistry. Plus you
can usually buy them anywhere.
On the tape, if you have a art store or even
hardware store nearby they have painters masking tape
which doesn't have as much glue in it. You should be able to
peal it off without pulling up any paper.
Good luck and have fun

Subject: measuring chemicals; masking tape alternatives
Hi. This may sound elementary, but what is your favorite way to
measure out chemicals? I tried a piece of paper on the balance just
now to wweigh out cyanotype chemicals and they ended up all over the
scale and the sink. There must be a better way. Maybe a cup? A
paper cup?
Also, when I use masking tape to tape my paper to a board for
coating, it leaves little bits of stickiness on the paper after I
take it off, and these stick to the glass of the printing frame. I
can get them off with a razor, but again, maybe there is a better way
to hold your paper down while you coat it?
