MH - A+ from me. However, I don't like it when theory and practice don't jive; don't like it at all. I'm not disparaging your practice, not suggesting you change it. I'm just going to keep looking for some harmonization with theory. I'd appreciate any additional thoughts you , or anyone else, has on the subject of annealing an action prior to recasing it.
I fully understand the need and practice of blocking. That really makes sense.
As for light induced fading of CC, I spoke at length on this subject with Dr. O. G. He and I agree that there is no theory as to why CC would be photosensitive. I wonder why there is data on both sides of this argument?? We must be missing some factor. Is it possible that differing surface protectants are in use and they are differing in photoreactivity? Has anyone ever looked at a CC surface under high magnification before and after a UV exposure test? Comments welcome.
Thanks for the discussion!!
