The dry mount press is good to have too, but if you clip them up back to back on a line with a clothespin at each corner, they pull against each other and dry pretty flat, then you can put them in the dry mount press and stack them together. Of course I do this after the final toning phase if you selenium tone them etc, since they go through the same thing again once they are wet.

My crystal ball is telling me that there's a dry-mount press in my future..... ============================================================================================================= To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there. ============================================================================================================= To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there.
