Hi Pete,

Yes, and thanks for your help too. I don't know if I ever mentioned it, but
that image that I got on my 3rd trial was the first image I have ever done
with alt. process. It was such a joy when I saw that first image (although
it was just a small 35mm image). :-)

Really!? But for some reason I did that on my intial trials on temperaprint!
Maybe my memory is fading, but I thought even asked you about it because I
didn't understand the instruction. I know you didn't mention printmaking,
but didn't you describe smoothing the emulsion up on a piece of tile or
something like that? How else do you do it? Do you just dip the foam roller
in the emulsion and then coat?

Best Regards,
Dave S
