Digital BW, The Print

"So, while it's dry to the touch quickly, we'll have
the fogging and other issues in spades due to the large volume of
it. After several days and using plain paper to soak up the slow-to-
evaporate materials, the coating gets to the point where it is
reasonably tough, but still not as hard as Print Shield."

Sorry, Paul. Could you clarify for me? By fogging, do you mean behind glass or that the 
print itself fogs over (never heard of this)?

Also, I am assuming you will be running the print through another pass for a second glop 
coat...is this necessary? And what do you mean about using plain paper to soak up the 
materials....this is beginning to sound messy and maybe a dust/lint attracting thing? 

Thanks,
Sarah
