As for pre-wetting, I did - -- one minute in distilled water. Then I stopped. I might begin again. It doesn't really seem to make any difference, although the developer pours out much less foamy with TMZ if you pre-wet. The first soak must wash away the built-in wetting agent. Again, doesn't seem to matter. Rob
