Now that's funny! But it would work wouldn't it ;)
Like I said I panicked a little this morning. I always forget how much UV
there really is out there and that you can print on a cloudy day. The only
time I have ever used a light source to print alt processes was when I was
in school and had access to a printmakers UV machine. It was one of those
"don't look in to the light or you will be blinded for life" sort of lights.
I really miss that machine. Could do platinum's in less than 4 minutes. I do
like using the sun for some reason though. I think it's the process, sitting
out on my fire escape in San Francisco as people walk by looking at me weird
wondering why I'm out there with a frame and some funny looking thing inside
it slowly changing colors.

If this is a one time emergency, you might try taking your print to a
tanning
booth.....
