I use the cover stock from Cards & Pockets and Paper Source! PS is much smoother, but I never have a problem with C&P (which has way more colors!)

Thank you both so much! I have been mixing in the gum arabic, but perhaps just not enough. I appreciate the advice and am glad to know there is a solution to this issue!

This issue has also been on my mind recently - I absolutely love the raised quality of dry gouache, but did run into an issue when packaging gouache-ed place cards for shipment...even though each was separated by glassine, the friction brushed off a bit of the "tooth" and created streaks across a few of the cards. A consideration! Not sure if there is anything to be done about this except limit any air bubbles in one's mixture.

Going back to Elaina's suggestion of the BackJoy - does anyone have any great adjustable chair recommendations? My husband has bought office chairs from Staples and is never happy - but the fantastically amazing ergo chairs are always super expensive! Where to look? Any brands or stores that stand out?

I wanted to ask if anyone has used any of the ergonomic nib holders out there? I'm more curious about the Heebs holders and Chris Yokes' ergo replica holders because those are high on my list haha, but I'd love to hear what anyone's thoughts are on any ergo holders.
I've been loveloveloving my Yoke carrot oblique - the thicker grip absolutely helps me avoid the death grip and I've been able to eliminate my hand/wrist pain this way. Plus, it's pink

I am so grateful for this thread! I've been taking the advice posted in other threads and this topic is so valuable for longevity and health. One of the biggest things that's been helping my shoulder pain is sitting higher up. I didn't realize how low my chair was until I started sitting atop a booster. Brings back my childhood restaurant days, but this time - no tears!
