Re: Some temperaprint questions - beware! these are dummy,beginners questions

 Hi Dave,

I remember our interchange very well most enjoyable.

I agree with most of the points you have made in response to our good boy
loris who showing the tru spirit of alternative printmaking.

however the section three comment--:

> 3. To coat using the foam roller, you should roll in the "emulsion" and then

 I have never advised this proceedure this is down to you Dave.
Having said that what a good idea. I have developed and used a smilar method
for inking up Bromoil and oil prints, but that was another process another
time.

Best wishes

Pete
