Re: [ARSCLIST] Fwd: Sticky AGFA PEM 469

Hi, Steve,

Thanks for this -- I may have dropped a ball--I don't think I have 
your paper up on my site, do I? I'd love to put it there. Did you 
send it to me and I miss it?

Anyway, do you suggest that baking works (if done long enough) with 
the bad batch(es) of PEM469?

Cheers,

Richard
