I know what I used, I just had no idea why I got the results I got...one of
my professors said that it might be from coating the paper to heavily and or
not diluting the solution enough. I figured since the kit had some clear
instructions it would be good to try first since I've not done it before.
Thanks for the information. I'll have to get my hands on the keepers of
light book. My professor suggested something that was in that book.
thanks,
emma
