Peach sap glue has been used to mix with ink and watercolors to control bleeding or smearing effects on rice papers for hundreds of years in China, Japan and Korea.

This peach sap glue powder is made from natural peach tree sap through traditional process (no trees are damaged). It is very water soluble. To apply, simply add it to the water you use for mixing sumi ink and watercolors to reduce bleeding or smearing as desired. Its clear transparency protects the chroma and values while ink or colors are diluted with peach glue water.

You may also add this peach sap glue to the regular western watercolors to be used on rice paper so they will not bleed during wet mounting process. As a vegan alternative to the glue found in the sizing of shu xuan paper, you can use peach sap glue to replace gelatin in the alum-based size.
