The gauge on the vacuum frame indicates 22 in Hg nearly straight away, but it usually takes around three minutes for the patterns to disappear and the film/plate to be in perfect contact. During all this, the pressure doesn't fluctuate at all - it remains constant at 22" Hg, so I've learnt to use my eyes and not rely on the gauge. Keith. Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......!!!! I also get to 22hg quickly, so figured that was as good as it could get. I haven't waited after that, so this is important info for me. Today I'll try waiting a bit and see what happens. thank you!
