    I have been printing resists with a print gocco/etch press system
    using the rio grande blue asphaltum etch press resist that they
    suggest.  It is not the can of asphaltum that comes in the rio etch
    press kit but the separate stuff they sell for the etch press. I am
    having problems getting an even coating on my fine silver through
    the screen and  once I start etching with nitric it just floats off
    the surface.  I have tried slightly sanding the surface for the
    resist to stick to but with no luck.  Any info on printing with
    different asphaltums and the print gocco or etching with nitric and
    those same asphaltums would be very helpful. Thanks, Lilly
