Aha, you may well think you can get away with that, but please be advised:
Should you do any actual "gum dot testing" without a control, that is, a
check of your "findings" conducted *with* the dichromate *and* the
exposure, I know someone very well who is going to fly out there on her
broomstick and put a hex on you and your antecedents all the way back to
the Shroud of Turin.
Plus, do you have any IDEA how the fates will howl with glee when they
read your words about "the only paper I intend to use"???? (Oh, oh, you do
live dangerously.)
Welcome to the list.
