Hi,

You can use Sobo glue found at any craft store. It'a a PVA glue. I'm a
bookbinder and have been using it for 10 years on my bindings.

>this may already have been answered but    where does one buy pva glue?<

When I ask for archival i get a different response than when I ask for acid 
free.  What is the diffrence exactly?

Eli,
I use etching ink to print all my relief work, but I don't stiffen it, I do
the opposite and use Miracle Gel Reducer. It works perfectly  - have never
had a problem. I put enough MGR in until the ink is about the consistency of
sour cream and goes swish swish swish when I roll it out and has a surface
on the palette like fine crepe. (It really reminds me of a fabric called "po
de swa", but I don't recall how to spell it! Pois de soie?) And, roll it out
very, very, thin and put several layers on the block rolling east and west,
north and south, several times. It should work like gangbusters.

Is there an advantage to using etching ink for releif or are you doing so 
because you have a large supply?

Marilynn,
Archival means it won't damage the paper and will come off when soaked 
in water (glue) and in paper it means it will last 100 years with 
reasonable care stored correctly. Acid free also applies to plastic and 
many glues are polymer based and will not redisolve in water, even 
though they are water soluble when wet.

We buy acid free paper.  I thought that meant it was preservation quality.  
So then if I buy a heet of acid free paper it is archival or is there 
something else I am unaware of?

Hi there:

Thanks everybody for the info on printing inks.  There seems that there is a
lot of different approaches to oil based inks and anything that prints is
fair play.
