Re: Palladium on vellum
Thanks Rajul... and to prove the axiom that "chance favors the prepared
mind," today, while out on an errand I spotted a tube of perfect
dimensions, and perfectly clean, sticking out of a city trash basket. I
liberated it & will proceed as you say ASAP.

Wrapping around a tube will stretch the wet print good and taught and, if
held in that position till it dries, will de-wrinkle it. This has been my
experience.
If I understand your recent accident w the water glass correctly, some paper
negs and prints became shrivelled and warped. Take the least favorite of
these or simulate the accident with a disposable neg/print. Wet it
thoroughly, then stretch it as I described, using clothespins to hold it snug
against the prepared tube, then let it dry at room temp.
Examine if its dimensions are restored. Hope this helps. Rajul

I usually mount Masa on an acetate support. Despite this, unsightly

Wrinkles iron out easily if you clip the wet print and allow it to dry on
a thick ~4" (or wider) diameter cardboard tubing (fabric or industrial
plastics stores discard them ) cut to the length you need and around which
a heavy plastic sheet secured with duck tape is wrapped. I hope this works
when you do not want a wrinkled print.
