I just got a bunch of old darkroom stuff and some old paper that looks like it was from someone's photography class(es). There's a nearly full bottle of "Liquid Light" in there, which I know tends to be kind of expensive. I've always wondered about this stuff but never tried it. This bottle expired in 2006, but "looks okay". Box and bottle aren't all banged up and dirty, or moisture damage, anything like that....
Anybody think this might still be viable? I assume it's light sensitive (hasta be, right?) and you would just coat whatever you plan to print on under safelight? Do you use rods or hake brushes ala alt process for this?
I plan to read the datasheet on this at some point, before I try using it, but before I go buy a pack of expensive Mulberry paper and coating rods or brushes - I'm assuming that's what you use to coat this onto the paper - I'd like to hear anyone's experience on using this product. Especially how well this might likely work, being 6 years or so past expiry.
Thanks ahead for any advice...
