Multiple FB prints in the same Washaid tray

[ediz7531]

Hi all,

I tried printing on FB for the first time a few weeks back. I use Ilford's washing method: 5 + 10 + 5 water + washaid + water. I can parallel the water part with a print washer. My newbie question:
Is it ok to put a few prints in the same tray for the washaid step? I used an 11x14 tray to parallel washaid two 8x10 prints last night. They overlap of course, so I alternated having each print on top every couple of minutes or so. There was plenty of chemistry to submerge both prints, and it didn't seem like the parts that were overlapping were sticking together.

Thanks,

There's nothing wrong with having a number of prints in the hypo clearing bath at the same time, but shuffle them often through the duration: at least once a minute.
