Re: Marbling problem

I took a marbling class from Galen Berry in March.  We used acrylic paints
but he didn't use oxgall at all, he used PhotoFlo.  I found it worked much
better.  I think someone who works with Galen is on this list, so maybe they
can comment or pass the question on to Galen.

If a bit too much ox gall gets added to acrylic paints during prep for =
marbling paper, is it possible to remove some of the excess gall by, oh, =
letting the paints sit awhile in opened containers in the hope that the =
gall will evaporate somewhat?  Do I have to throw out the paint and =
start over?  Opinions, thoughts?

Thanks, everyone.
