I realized after I typed that I used Ivory dish soap. I think dawn would do the same thing but for those who want specifics..... Yes you're right it was Popovich's book that listed the Photo Flo in it.

Any wetting agent will work. The Photo-Flo deal was Popovich's buddy, Ed Jaworowski , probably grabbed it out of his darkroom and the legend progressed from there. I use synthoprol in water, Dawn Dishwashing liquid also to Deb's point works excellent too.

It keeps it from sticking to your fingers and you can spread and shape the silicone. Photo Flo is used to clean the chemicals from your photos after developing, It's soap. Dawn is a clear dish detergent much like the photo flo and is mild. The woman is an amazing photographer so I just followed her advice. It worked.

The bubbles from it would spread out like the Eggplant that Ate Chicago [This was an old B science fiction movie]. BTW Deb what does Photo-flo do for your flies?
