Glut is well known to be a good hardener in photographic literature
and I take no credit in this, other than spreading info from
literature and sharing information on how I use it. I was quite
surprised and then fed up with the level of noise, resistance,
unfounded criticisms, personal attacks and so forth seen on this list
when I pushed glut as a superior hardener. BUT Chris should get some
credit because she is the one who showed that glut-hardened gelatin
size worked significantly better for her dichromated gum practice and
described her findings. I'm very glad to see that glut-hardened size
solved some of the problems in her and some others' practice.
