I think what I would strive for would be a glossy, clay coated paper that
is not heavy stock like most inkjet papers. Some inkjet papers a nearly
as thick as card stock.......tough to dissolve, requiring scrubbing.
I think I would like to have a thinner stock, something like that used for
Time magazine, catalogs, and others. The reason for going to a thinner
stock is that
it would dissolve much faster and easier than the thicker stock used for
inkjet paper.
So, that's why I suggested trying to get some "Time magazine"
type paper from a local printing establishment.
Unfortunately, there are no big-scale printing houses in my
immediate area. We once had a large Alpha Graphics operation
here, but they moved out due to lack of business.
NOTE: Sorry that my photos of the local Muriatic acid sources
was filtered out. I should have realized that they would be.
My Bad.
