RE: PT/PD MOGULS, MAESTROS & GURUS
Judy, Your posting seems way off, either there are messages that I have not seen, or you are miss understanding the issue. Bob is asking about a problem with an over exposed image. Can he save it by bleaching it with HCL? I looked into my most recent copy of Arentz' book for references to HCL. I did see the spot bleaching that I mentioned attributed to Michael Mutansky. It uses HCL and house hold bleach; quite a deadly mixture if you are sloppy. It could be used as a general overall bleach I suppose but I'd just make a new one. The use of HCL is part of the clearing steps and while some reduction in the print can occur while wet, I have not run those test to see if a .5% was any less likely to lighten a PD print than a PT at 1 to 1.5%.
