RE: Sizing with hardened gum

Just out of curiosity, how fragile was the gum base you peeled off of the
yupo? I'm wondering if it would be possible to make a gum transparency (or
semi-transparency) that would hold up to display.

The most dramatic demonstration of the hardening of the gum was on
yupo, the gum lifted off in a beautiful pleated veil of insoluble gum,
just like it looks when you lose a layer of crosslinked gum off glass or
any slick surface.
