You are dusting over the resist after it has been sensitized and dried,
but before exposure, adhesion, and development (washing out) - or, after
the resist is exposed, adhered and developed? If the latter, please give
more details. Doesn't heating the rosin also damage the gelatin? I can
see that this would solve some of the problems of adhering the resist
over a dusted plate. Of course, the secondary screen exposure you
mentioned earlier also does that.
Still, your comment made me curious.

persevering and gettin alt-photo back online. The withdrawal was quite
severe.
