Kerik,
I am compelled by a higher power to ask about that... I myself know that a
touch of the finger is the surest way to tell if a gum emulsion is dry,
although I would never allow in public that I do any such thing.
It is my understanding that the chemicals in a platinum-palladium print
are even more poisonous than dichromate. True, some of us are more
thin-skinned than others... but the skin of ALL is a permeable membrane.
Do you have any advice to offer (or a rationale???). Perhaps the contact
is so brief, or perhaps a barrier cream would make a difference, or you
scrub instantly, or I'm exaggerating the effects, or....?
