A couple of things . . . . one, you can dilute the emulsion slightly and ad
a very tiny bit of photo flo
                                    two . . somewhere (I think it was a
Jobo Newsletter) there was a recipe where you added something like a
teaspoon of heavy cream (yes . . heavy cream) to the liquid emulsion to give
a "smoother" coating effect.
That's about all I know.
