Thanks for the info!! Will be implementing the powder trick until we have time to play with some of the suggested emulsions here. Tackiness has been a big problem for us. Trashed 10 of 20 positives today.

It's one of the few "bandaids" I don't mind doing around here. I did spend hours upon hours trying to figure out how to get regular emulsions from eating our positives and now I would rather find a good emulsion that we like, that has minimal tack and use the powder.
Why don't you just turn the heat up in the drying room. The emulsion can only be tacky if it's full of moisture.
