Marvin,
With all due respect to the test of ages vis-a-vis materials I do think that there should be some contemporary indepedent testing done.
I think we have sometimes an emotional attachment to methods and materials, rather than one that is reflected in good research.
Tested to death, why they have not even been tested at all in relationship to contemporary use. I know it is not romantic, but I for one would like to know more. I thank Richard for his contribution as well as yours. Both of you are very knowlegeable artists.
