It's just like using vinegar to aid in dying Easter eggs...works great, also
one of the main ingredients in Bouins.

Subject: Setting ink on tissues


Hello!  Question for the netters:  Who or when or how did it come about to
use a dilute glacial acetic acid solution to help set ink on tissues.  This
is used in place of dunking in Bouin's.  Anybody know?
Thanks,
