William,

I am also intimately familiar with maroger and also have made it and used it for years. I love the handling of maroger for pieces particularly when I want passages to dry overnight. The smell is wonderful!

I received a sample of Gamblin's product called "Neo Megilp". It doesn't say what's in it except for a warning for petroleum distillate. I used it test swatches only. This stuff smells like model airplane glue - nasty! I am not a big fan of Gamblin's products so there is little chance I am going to slather this stuff on any of my work. It takes about 3 days to dry! BTW, for all of you paranoid lead users, Titian lived to the ripe age of 91, but there again he might have been using Gamblins products!...L
