Thank you so much for your response Mr. Conrad. Do you have any advice for a preexposure baking method?

Also, in the method you described, while you wait for it to get to the right point, what are some signs to start to look for to tell me that it is near ready.

Thank you so much again.

Sincerely, Kevin Hooper
