Hi all,

After years of deliberating, I finally decided to take the plunge and try gum printing and gum-overs.

Does freezing gum arabic have any undesirable effects?

I just received shipment via UPS ground and it arrived frozen solid as a block of ice. It must have been that way for about a week since it went from the west coast to the east coast. After thawing, it seems ok in texture and consistency from what I can remember; but I am concerned whether it freezing will cause problems with gum printing or gum-overs.

Cheers,
