  2 grams per liter i think is what the literature indicates, but i'd check first.

  First linen backing attempt. The Breyer left some dark lines will have to invest in a better one.

  NO! No more brayer! I use one for smoothing out the masa, but not anymore when the poster gets laid down. Too much pressure on the poster/fold lines.

  Do you bleach posters from the 80s?
  And if they don’t need it, are you just doing the de-acidificationbath, then rinsing, and then backing?

  You don't bleach anything if they don't need it.

  Agreed, bleach can be very tricky, and some colors di nit like bleach at all.
