I've been doing wet-plate photography for over a year as my main job. Yet, I have a question for the darkroom guys. I've been using sodium thiosulfate mostly; but I'm tempted to go to cyanide due to the fact that the kcn washes out of the emulsion(collodion) so easily. I do a lot of events where everybody is walking around looking at my darkbox and I would like a safer effective method, so here are my questions. .. How effective would hypo-clear be on metal or glass plates? Amonium thiosulfate has a much quicker clearing time, so would it be better for me to use amm. thio. and hypo-clear?
Any educated thoughts on the idea would be greatly appreciated. Ty Guillory
