Thanks for setting my mind at ease about the chlorine, Richard. I figured
it was probably OK since I couldn't find any mention. I'm using latex
paint, of course. I chose mold-resistant basement paint since the room is
approx. 80% below grade in a red clay dirt geo-area known for its moist
summers.
I was actually planning to let it sit a month for the paint to
"outgas"...thanks for mentioning it!
And thanks for the congrats, Becky! I'll try to take/send photos, but since
at this point my backlog is 4 years of printing, including 1-1/2 years of
film processing, please forgive me if it's not immediately forthcoming!
