Your albumen solution definitely sounds too thick - easily the cause of
cracking and drying problems, as well as loose emulsion in processing.
My albumen solution is the consistency of, well, eggs, really. Stop
measuring and go for the right feel - usually you want the best gloss,
without being too thick (it'll crack later), although I can of course
only speak for myself. If you've got a good gloss on the first pass, why
bother with the second? We chicken-printers need to do it twice to get
it right...
