Re: Sizing papers for gum printing

Maria,
Pour the glut into the gelatin--no separate bath. When I have sized by
multiple layers, I brush size the paper, hang to dry, then brush size the
rest, by the time the last is done the first is ready to brush size again.
So I do all coats in one setting.
If you can't do this, take half your gelatin, add half your glut, and put
the rest of the gelatin in the fridge. Then when you are ready to do the
next sizing, heat the remainder of the gelatin and add the remainder of the
glut.
