Sam,

Do you have a few sheets of the Strathmore 500 I can experiment with? Won't
need it until after I get back from Montana of course.

Meanwhile I salted and sensitized a few sheets of Rives Arches this evening
and am going to expose a negative on it when the sensitizer drys. Will let
you know how it turns how.

Sandy
