Re: glut

Hi,

out of curiosity, would there be a "problem" sizing with gum instead of
gelatine especially if you intend to do gum printing later???

Hi
How long can glut be stored in a bottle before it gets old?
The glutaraldehyd solution is 2,5%.
What happens when you size for example BFK Rives paper with this probably
old solotion?
(exuse my english)
My friends did this and they had problem with pigment staining very hard
into the paper.
They made a second size with ten times more glut concentration than the
first size.
If someone with more experience could give me some advice in this question i
would be very glaad.

That sounds dangerous.

Use 2 % gelatine which should be drtied quickly. . Do not use
preservatives. Make up fresh every couple of days.
