Thread: newspaper stopping A++

Has anyone had experience with hot press artist paper which is actually 100% rag content [acid free]. No wood pulp at all. Sort of like stropping on denim only the surface is much finer.

You can also sprinkle .5 micron CrOx dust or paste or diamond spray or cerium oxide or yellow bar on a piece of 80lb. or 100 lb. hot press paper. It does a nice job and again, there is no wood pulp in this paper. It is made of fabric like cotton, linen and other natural fibers. A. C. Moore and most other art supply stores carry 100% rag paper.

It is often identified by the term "acid free" pH neutral. Hello - would that mean that newspaper has an acid content? Can this be good for you razor's edge? Like FOX NEWS, we report, you decide!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Give it a try............
