Hi list,
     I'm so thrilled to keep seeing gum stuff posted. BTW, Judy mentions
below the defoaming agent. I came across in my notes that I used this
eyeglasses antifog, a couple drops, in my gelatin solution to get rid of
bubbles. I have written down DON"T use photoflo. Why might that be?
Anyway, for what it is worth, the stuff is called Pearle Kleer Fog. I have
"use 2 drops" per 1000ml gelatin solution.
     You know, it is really bad when I have notes that I write down and have
to ask the LIST why I wrote them down. OH, they weren't from the list; they
were notes from 4 yr ago when I first gum printed, in my gum journal I was
keeping at the time.
Chris
