Hi Adrienne Also make sure the wash after your bluing agent is higher than the blueing solution or alkalinity of the solution will leach out your eosin.

I've read that this can be caused by not dehydrating adequately after eosin, but we're still having an issue when using fresh alcohols. Does anyone have any other ideas as to the cause of this problem? Thanks in advance for your help!
