[pure-silver] Re: Kodak Special PX 3001paper

Dave what are your thoughts on the moisture in the emulsion expanding when
it freezes. I spoke with an Ilford Rep some years ago and he advised against
refreezing because of the possible damage to the emulsion.
I have not gone the freezer route as energy to run the freezer is costly
living off the grid. In fact the last freezer I had ran 100% of the time
when the ambient air temp reached 95'which amounted to 5000 watts over 24
hours.

The paper he has is old and expired by at least 5 years.    If he tries some

and it does not have fog or mottle it is still good.  I would keep it in  a 
plastic bag and freeze it.  Allowing it to warm up for an hour before using 
it and re-freezing remainder immediately afterwards.

Kodak discontinued Ektalure about 6 or 7 years ago.   It is an outstanding 
product with history going back almost 100 years.
