    It looks like the plate needs more time in the hypo. Try 2nd cycle rose

    phuphuphnik, thanks for the tips.

    do you think its possible to try to put it back in the hypo after I’ve already took it out and dried it off? or should I just re-shoot it completely? I’m scared to kill my plate.

    Ive been developing it in the sun 2 hours, not under lights, its pretty hot out though so I put two fans on it.

    You should be able to put it back in. Yeah, there is a lot of overhead with dags, which is why I don’t often gild. Why risk another 3+ hours of work to redo a plate if it is OK not gilt. I’ll check my notes on times in the sun when I get home. (I’m working the weekend)Too bad too, good shooting weather.
