Works!
I wanted to letter in ink over a watercolor wash, and I was advised to "pounce" a bag of sandarac over it first to prevent bleeding. So I ordered this bag and did so, and it worked great. No bleeding at all and beautifully fine hairlines. This will be part of my standard equipment now. When I received the bag inside its jar, a few of the granules were loose in the jar, so I just tucked them back into the bag before using.

gum sandarac is magic
Years ago my calligraphy teacher showed the class how to use gum sandarac to prepare paper to accept ink without bleeding. Some wonderful papers just need a LITTLE help to give crisp letters. Sandarac won't solve major bleeding problems.
