Dear Phil, you're a genius. This is really a huge problem ! Cotton paper is expensive and it's sad that such paper gives unpleasant surprises. You've found the solution!

I have a couple pads of 100% cotton watercolor paper inherited from my grandmother, who probably bought it over 15 years ago. I keep wondering if the sizing is still good, and if not, whether it’s fixable. This is good to know! If I do end up needing to resize, I imagine I’ll try combining it with my stretching process, wetting the paper through and taping it to a board before adding the gelatin, which ought to help keep it flat.

THANK YOU! I was looking for a way to freshen up sizing as I have way too much paper and started to get into trouble with it.. To keep the paper flat, you could paint the back with water (or size both sides). I usually wet both sides and do very wet washes. The paper stays flat since it's both sides, even though its just 90lb cotton paper. So worth a try.

Some Saunders paper I have has lost its size quite quickly too. Mainly towards the edges.

Have you tried this on fabrics? Like raw canvas?

Oh I may have to try this. I am having a sizing issue with some paper. Hmm. Thank you so very much.

can you iron the paper using a warm iron to flatten it again?

Out of curiosity, which brand of paper do you find to easily lose its sizing? For me, I've yet to be able to use any Arches paper and can't understand why people keep recommending it. I've purchased full sheets and pads, years apart, and all used within a few weeks of purchase. Regardless, they have all had terrible sizing right from the start.
