Hi-

just a couple of quick questions on making gum coated paper:

1) Is it right that coated paper lasts a long time in the freezer? I've done a
little test over a week or so, and it seemed all right- I wonder if anybody
has done some more extensive tests. Being able to prepare the paper in "bulk"
in advance would be a great advantage.

2) Do I remember correctly somebody saying that you can brush the sensitizer
on the paper first and then spray on the gum/pigment later? Don't the two
suffer from not being mixed ahead? Does the sensitizer still manage to combine
with the gum? (Of course, the spray method would be advantageous for
smoothness, and separating the two solutions would mean less wastage when
using non-artist airbrushes.)

I appreciate any feedback
Olivo
