Not so for me on either count, Don. Even when I size, I only brush-size
the front, I don't wet the paper entirely. Way back in the beginning,
before I stopped sizing altogether, I did tray-size, but that was a long
time ago. For registration, I simply put right-angle marks around the
corners of the negative and print again when the paper is dry enough
that the corners fit, but not so dry that they don't. This system has
worked well for me for years.
