The MIS Glop, like most inks on glossy papers, does not totally cure 
very quickly.  So, while it's dry to the touch quickly, we'll have 
the fogging and other issues in spades due to the large volume of 
it.  After several days and using plain paper to soak up the slow-to-
evaporate materials, the coating gets to the point where it is 
reasonably tough, but still not as hard as Print Shield.  The flip 
side is that the Glop coatings preserve the papers' textures better.  
I think the Glop coatings look better -- but they are not quite as 
tough.

One wonders what some company might be able to come up with if this 
application were their actual focus.  MIS Glop is just the glossy 
dilution base.
