Thanks Mark.
Being in Chicago as well, maybe it IS getting dry down here.  Definitely
firing up the humidifier the night before I start testing again.
The early successes I had were during a decent warm spell in Sept., although
with all the rain we've been having, you'd think it might be rather moist
here.

Just wish the process would cooperate as it did 5-10 years ago where these
kinds of things were rarely an issue for me.

>A friend of mine found that he had a consistent 50% humidity year around in
his basement until I checked my hygrometer against his and found his was
broken and stuck at 50%. ;)

All of the problems you described are consistent with too little
moisture and uneven moisture in the paper at the time of exposure.

Best Wishes,
Mark Nelson
