Re: how to size and dry gum bichromate papers?

Knox gelatin twice followed by a soak in formalin solution. I use the
recipe in The Keepers Of Light.

I hang paper by plastic clothespins to dry inside the darkroom, or outdoors
if I'm using formalin.

If your paper is rolling up, try using thicker paper. I'm using Rives BFK
with good results.
