Got it from learning E4 the pre curser to E6 using Wet Dev Tek's for tubes. Presoaking then became as natural as taking a shower my bathtub stinks. T-Max tried to get me to stop. I failed. Things screwed up. Gremlins came. I presoaked. They went away. Then other reasons. Always came back. OUT DARN SPOT. RUN SPOT RUN! Stick to presoaking. You'll live longer and more fulfilling lives. I presoak before I go anywhere. I went to a Shrink* and he says to me he says "How can I help you?" I says "I don't need you today I presoaked!!! Maybe next week I'll remember to come here DRY!!!" What did Mel Brooks say? "I'd rather eat a rotten Nectarine then a RIPE PEACH!!" You know the sound of one hand clapping.
