Has anyone considered trying Renaissance wax or Micro-crystaline (available
from Tallas in NYC) wax softened with benzine to wax the backs of their
paper negatives. I haven't tried it but it seems easier than heating prints
with an iron and they are both archival waxes. They were faves of Adams for
waxing silver gelatin prints...I do that here in Barbados to prevent fugial
growth due to the humidity of Island air.
    Anyhow, might be a worth a try. I haven't yet used paper negs so I
haven't had the opportunity. Let me know of any attempts.
                                                                CHEERS!
