Hello again
I've just received a box of old glass plates. I give myself a 20% possibility that they are useable.
I did expose and develop one. I rated it ISO 4. I developed it in Rodinal 1:25, visual inspection.
It came out very dark with just a small area that had a faint image. With some areas having a sharp edge.
Like if you dipped the plate in a chemical. I placed it in the tray emulsion side up.
Anyone have any experience salvaging old plates like this?
I paid very little for them, so if them can't be used it's not a big deal.
Also has anyone had success with liquid light? I would like to make glass negatives.
Wet Plate is amazing, but costly and time constraints are prohibitive.
Thanks for any suggestions.
