fogging in half-cylinder cameras.

I have made a half cylinder camera for 8x10 negatives. I find that I have
far more trouble with fogging due to interior reflection than I have ever
seen with cylindrical cameras where the negative takes up only the back half
of the cylinder. In this camera, the angle of view approaches 180 degrees,
with the edges of the neg butted right up against the front of the camera. I
haven't had fully matte paper to use, and haven't tried film yet, but I
will. Has anyone used the polymax fine art paper that is "double matte"? I
sent for some. has anyone tried some sort of a baffle system that might
quench some of the random bouncing around of light?
