Judy, No I didn't give all the processing details. Here's what I do:
process in running water at least 5 minutes before fixing, then use hypo
clearing agent and a final wash of about 40-50 minutes. I haven't tested
the hypo-clear. Should I? And my coated, masked areas are not paper white,
but close. Is that a problem, too? I'm using the tartaric acid formula.
Thanks for the help.
Gwen
