SKU:PC-NERI
This is a chemical powder version of the traditional "tororo aoi."
Mix your own formation aid for hand papermaking.
Here are the instructions on the back of the container (translated from Japanese):
Gradually add about 0.5 g of “neri” to 1L of water. Stir well while adding neri.
Leave about 3 hours to around a half day until “neri” is completely dissolved. (In case you cannot gauge how to measure 0.5g, it’s a VERY SMALL amount! It translates to approximately .02 ounces.) Stir every so often. Please strain it through something like linen/cheesecloth if there are some lumps. Gradually add this mixture to the vat of slurry.
After mixing very well (“hogging” the vat), please form your sheet of paper. Start with a small amount of “neri” and try making a sheet of paper. You can always add more “neri” as you go. You know the consistency is “good” if the water doesn’t drain too quickly or too slowly. If you add too much "neri”, the water will drain very slowly. Please adjust the amount of “neri”, according to the water (hard or soft), etc.
