"gumarabic
>I bought from Daniel Smith. It puddles on the plastic"

Hey, me too. I am sure I had no problem with the gaum arabic before, but
this time I could not get it to adhere to the plastic. I cannot find it so
I do not know if it came from Daniel Smith but it may have, as I order from
them. I thought I was just getting old and had forgotten some crucial step.

We tried degreasing the plastic sheets several times with several kinds of
cleaners. We brushed the gum arabic on and we tried dabbing it on with our
fingers, but every time it flaked off.

Does anyone have a success story?
Christa
