I assumed development of each layer will take 30 minutes. (I had
developed my tests on paper for 1 hour - I expose "a la Christina"; at
least 6 minutes - making relatively sturdy layers...) How do you develop
so quickly? (Hot water, abrading w/ paint pad or brush, water
jets...???)

I don't see why dichromated PVA wouldn't adhere to Yupo - I mean when
thinking it is used to "glue" things. (Bookbinding, package
manufacturing, self adhesive labels...) Of course I'm speculating
assuming PVA will be more adhesive than (or equally adhesive as) whole
egg (read as temperapring - I know temperaprinters can make as much as 9
layers).

Loris.

If my experience with yupo is any guide, you could make a tricolor
(whatever) in less than 2 hours, more like half an hour, on yupo, but
I've never been able to get three layers of gum to stick on yupo
(although I haven't tried layering the very very thin layers of gum I
showed on yupo a couple of weeks ago.) If gloy can adhere to the
surface for three layers, that would be something in itself. Do you
know if anyone has actually done this?
