Greetings,
I know there is a forum dealing specifically with wet plate, but given the last thread on glass plates I figured I'd ask here first.
Is is possible to coat a glass plate with collodion and store it for days/weeks/months, before sensitizing it with silver compounds? I know the exposure and subsequent process must be done before the plate dries, but can the collodion dry before use?
Regards, Pete
