you make it look so easy to pour collodion ... i just bought an 8x10 and now i truly appreciate what you meant by: "wet plating is not for mere mortals" .. thanks for the wisdom and confidence to begin learning this lost art.... although maybe it would have been easier starting out with a 4x5 or 5x7. ..
the one time i was trying to do kollodium photography on black metal plates i ended up getting no results at first. the i re-used one of those plates without washing it inbetween. that time i did get a photograph but mostly i got my fingerprings in silver everywhere. i ended up giving that plate to a silversmith good friend of mine. she loves it. usually i like if people sign what they make, but that one already has my fingerprint all over it haha
Thanks again I do it in a similar Way like you. Do you use a albumen also for positives? I’ve done some tests with albumen but there’s still some small organic parts in it so I may be have to filter more than four times or use a better filter I don’t know. Therefore I have used just subbed edges of glass.
Could you please help me, I don't understand the order. It seems you first coat the glass with the albumin but THEN you do all the cleaning etc...? How does it make sense? Or if you do the albumin after the cleaning how can you prevent it from leaving marks while drying?
@@BorutPeterlinPhotography I made a few dozen tintypes in the past year but only now I tried the glass negatives and then you mentioned that albumin also helps with fogging and indeed it's a huge difference with or without albumin. I was thinking maybe I can also coat my tintypes with albumin to decrease fogging? Would it work?
Intensa limpieza. Estoy tomando nota hermano. Un abrazo y que la paz impere en nuestro amado planeta.

Albumin comes after cleaning of the plate. It leaves no marks if the plate is fully subbed with albumin solution.

the collodion not sticks in the glass after silver nitrate
How does the material stick to the glass?
