[Jeremy Moore]

I should add that I tape my vellum down very tightly right outside the
coating area. Coat, blow dry to dry, remove tape, re-humidify over a
cheapie vicks humidifier then expose. On the pt/pd layers I humidify to
almost damp, but with that gum layer I rehumidified to the point of correct
registration. Maybe I'm thinking my registration was better than it
actually was, though -- now my interest is piqued!
