Wendy,
  What I was talking about was using what B&S calls NA2 platinum as a
contrast agent in place of B&S Sol#2. There is a good technical paper about
this special platinum complex on the B&S web site.

I'm surprised you can hang the sheets with B&S Sol#2 overnight. I found
that anything with chlorate (as in sol#2) needed to be used promptly (a few
hours). It may be paper dependant? I don't use Platine.
