Re: Are Daguerreotype Included in Wet Plate Threads
Jerry Spagnoli and Mike Robinson teach, and there may be others. Jerry teaches the Becquerel method (iodine only, with orange or red light to develop), Mike teaches mercury development. I stopped teaching a few years back.

easiest way is to have a dim white light at the opposite end of your darkroom and hold the plate so you can see the white light and it's reflection next to each other.
