Have a look at this page: http://www.geocities.com/guerinlj/ There they say that you should avoid applying more than 200mJ/cm2 in one go else you will get a skin. And with 270 mJ (18 sec * 15mW) you are above this level. Maybe you can introduce some breaks into your exposure? cu Michi -- Michael Riss Parc Científic de B., Lab.
