Reply To: Second layer, mounting.

Hi

Yes I do think rough-to-rough is ideal, but rough-to-smooth would work too, I think.  I also do bookbinding and so work with paste and glue often. My calligraphy is done typically on the smooth side, as I was taught.

Sometimes there is almost no difference between sides of the paper which tells me that I have to ‘test’ each side first if I want to make absolutely sure, but with paper like that, in the end, it doesn’t seem to matter.  The same amount of sizing has probably been used on both sides when it was made.
