Unfortunately I seem to have had some sort of neural meltdown when it came
to discussing anti-Newton-ring powder. I wrote that it was 'something weird
like lycopodium spores'. A day or so later, and away from the computer, I
realised with some horror that is fingerprint powder, so I do hope nobody
has ordered a 20lb bag :) Still, it will at least show up whether your film
is clean of fingerprints <g>
