Re: polymer plate drying time
Hi Susan, Once the plate has been adequately post-exposed (5-10 minutes) you can use it right away. No problem with post-exposing longer though. No drying time really, other than make sure there's no droplets left on the plate after blotting -- and if there are using a hair drier like you're doing.
