Hi,
out of curiosity, would there be a "problem" sizing with gum instead of
gelatine especially if you intend to do gum printing later???
In fact, dichromated gum makes a better 'size'or 'substrate' than
gelatine.Expose the dichromated gum for about a minute and then wash out the dichromate
It is certainly far more effective in preventing 'stain' or degradation of
the highlights.
