Yeah, I think it is the cold. My stains have been getting so-so. It
also seemed the dye was taking forever to release. I hit on the same
idea Anne had for using my gas oven pilot. It worked like a charm!
Then I wrapped it up with micropore tape and *LOTS* of TP. The results
were stunning. I scanned it about an hour after I removed the paste
and will do so again on Saturday when it should be it's darkest. And,
if I get the time I will post it.

Give it another try and try to keep warm.

That goes double for you, Sarah!
