[Aquanet] KILIMANJARO

Signature FileI've used it and had some problems.  In particular, when needing a straight edge (like on a building), the paint would bleed out causing a ragged edge.  Probably it's good for a loose technique.  I have used their baby block and liked it.

  Not.  I'm with Doris, I've tried this paper several times, the last time after a conversation with the dealer who told me the paper was totally reformed and improved as to the sizing problem.  I should have gone back and made him eat what I ended up tearing up for students.

  It is white, but there are several papers that are bright white.  This stuff, pardon my French, sucks paint like a Hoover, and the sizing can probably cut glass but it is not even.  I have not tried it in the last three years, but have given the paper at least four opportunities, one more than it really deserved.  The last batch I tried smelled even worse than Arches.

CIA,  Unless they have radically changed this paper and uses better  sizing, it is a disaster to paint on.  It immediately sucks up the  paint, like a blotter.  Took a watercolor class at the Kanuga WC  workshop -- a week (Hendersonville, NC), and we all got nice black  painting aprons and two sheets of K paper, one 140#, the other 300# cp  from Cheap Joe, himself.   We were extremely pleased and were anxious  to try the papers out.  I thought it was just me, but everyone  complained about the inability to move the paint around.  The apron  was the better deal, by far.  I'd suggest you buy and try a piece  first.  Perhaps they've improved the sizing situation.
