Hi Don,
Just looked up "desulfovirga".... don't have my "Basic
Introduction to Advanced Geomorphology" nor, "Genetic
Morphing of the Syntrophobacter Fumaroxidans", by my
computer, so I can't really make a statement at this very
singular and unique point in time... I think that that
point in time just passed by... :) :) :)
But seriously... Hypo1 would definetely have a higher
silver content, since at least 40-50 prints passed through
it in it's first life as Hypo2 and then, second life as
Hypo1.
Something just clicked. One variable did change. The
Saran wrap. Last week, I asked my wife to pick up some
non-cling, least possible, generic "saran wrap" when she
stopped at the pharmacy after classes. It's different, to
the touch, from the previous one. Does each company that
makes "saran wrap" have a slightly different
composition????
I've always wondered about the containers and trays that I
use. How chemically neutral are they? Are some better
than others??
Regards,
Bogdan
I don't think there is a problem with the trays. The
only kind of trays that had problems were the old enamelled
ones. If the enamel had a chip or deep scratch that exposed
the iron underneath it could cause fogging and staining. I
currently have one enamel tray, an 16x20 job which I use
exclusively for washing. All the chips are patched with
refrigerator touch-up. Back in the bad old days I used Ace
hard rubber trays. They were fine but heavy and would
shatter if dropped. All lost in some move.
