poorboy collodion is just a special collodion mix.

and without cadmium and without grain alcohol.

all the hard to get collodion chemicals.

poor boy collodion is an idea from john coffer.

here is the formula (posted with permission form john coffer)

240 ml plain collodion
300 ml denatured alcohol
6ml distilled water
3g pot. bromide
5g pot iodide.
