I just got started with coating my own paper. Coating pt/pd worked great, but wh en I tried making salted paper, I got very uneven results. I am using Crane's Pl anotype #90 paper and a glass coating rod. I first coat the paper with the salti ng solution, making sure the paper is covered. After it dries, I coat with silve r nitrate, again making sure the paper is evenly coated. I am using Photorapher' s Formulary's salted paper kit. (I know I can buy machine coated POP paper.)
