Subdueing the Moleskine's resistance

Scldshoesonmoleskine_2

Nita at InkTracks has found a way to deal with an issue that has perplexed many:

"I've discovered that if I use 180-weight sandpaper and lightly stroke the paper, w/c will flow on MUCH better. I plan to use this sketchbook more often now. I'd tried changing the surface by spraying or adding things to the paper--then suddenly realized I needed to sand *off* the resistance. Eureka!"

This is an interesting way to work with that paper. I will try it. I have been using the old way of a drop of dish soap in the water. That always works for me.
