Steve Anchell said so, but I've never tried it as I have no difficulty
coating smoothly (possibly because I live in a humid climate?).
And, how much would humidity effect DMax (maybe not

Nope, none of the above, that's what I meant when I said that humidity
has little effect on gum; I meant it has little effect on how gum
prints. Carbon and gum both use dichromates, but that doesn't mean they
are the same process or work the same way, and I think some of the
confusion that happens here happens because people think the two are
more similar than they actually are.
