Hi it's me again lol

    Please is there another substance less nasty than asphaltum for
    making silver for etching? 

    I was one of the few artists trianed on stone lithograph printing
    press. Could Gum Arabic(usa name) or Guar Gum(rest of the world) be
    used to mask on the silver? 

    We used it and printmaking and stone litho uses Nitric and
    Hydrochloric acids so I was just wondering as I have a pound of the
    stuff in powdered form. :) 

Thanks!
