He says it's pretty straigthforward. At the end of the bleaching time,
instead of stripping the pigment off the bromide, you simply put the
"sandwich (the whole thing: bromide with pigment tissue on top of it)
into the hot water (40C or so) after a minute or so, starting at a
corner, peel the backing of the tissue *gently* and discard it. If all
went well your image will start to develop at this point. The rest of
the procedure is described on p. 172.
You should keep in mind that people have not had much luck in recent
years with the carbro process, because of the unavailability of decent
bromide papers. Nadeau much prefers carbon transfer to carbro for this
reason.
