Ken,
I just remembered that I bought and installed a Heat Absorbing Glass into my
Beseler color enlarger head because I was having trouble with heat at first.
That was so long ago, I have not printed in the darkroom in 8 years! I had
totally forgotten when I wrote my earlier response to you. The
Heat-absorbing glass did take care of the problem, maybe you could get that
for your enlarger and can keep using non-glass carriers?
