[pure-silver] Re: how long, when partially wet?

Janet, Until it's dry! How did you mount and frame it? Dry mount, hinged?
Metal frame, wood frame? Well sealed? 

Time is not really the issue. Drying a print with a slight air flow will
speed it up. I have even used a hair dryer while flipping the print from
front to back to avoid curl.

If you have a chance to go look at it in a few months, that might not be a
bad idea. I would recommend that you make a call and delay delivery until
you are sure about the print. I think that a promptly delivered job that
fails is worse for your rep than a slightly late delivery that last
unchanged for many years.
