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. Roland F.
