George Debikey is the VP Director of Technical Services at American Art Clay Co. Inc. and they manufacture and sell Genesis paints.
You can call him at 800-925-5195, ext. 328
George is also the R & D chemist involved with Genesis and, I believe, really does know what he is talking about. Genesis is too big and has too good a reputation to make false claims just to sell a product.
Patt: As I said, that letter was old...and yes, you are right, it did address another issue - namely pigments. I just figured that some of us can benefit from ALL the technical information available on this unusual product. I posted George's letter just in case it occurred to anyone to ask about the pigments, the effect that heat has on them and their archival qualities.
As far as I know, Genesis is SAFE enough for pregnant women and people with severe allergies to use. Their website has information on this, and you can always call George's toll free number and inquire.
I wrote to George Debikey about this thread and hopefully he will address Marvin's particular concerns.
