Any news about the result for these tin types?
He appears to be doing a “Jason L” offering of slow dry plates for the EU countries.

you can easily buy some liquid emulsion ( they used-to sell it cheap at Freestyle in the "clearance" area 1Kg of Foma Emulsion for like 30$, B/H currently has fresh liquid light that's less than 40.

From what my European cohort tell me, the FOMA liquid emulsion is very inexpensive where you are, here in the states it's 2x the cost of the 8oz liquid light when it's not on clearance, from what I've been told in Denmark it is/was less than 40euros for the whole tub ( maybe covid changed that?). Have you used it? The 1Kg size comes with hardener, which you can put in your gelatin sub layer, and your final wash if you coat them on your own. if you coat some varieties of Japanese Papers with it, after they are waxed the paper is clear like glass, and put infront of something black you get the same visual entertainment as you would an ambrotype. I've been using some that is about 10 years old and it still seems OK... ( the gelatin hasn't broken down yet ). ( if you coat glass with it you will probably have to water it down to make it a little more runny, I've never used photo Flo with it but some people who coat glass put a little bit in their melted emulsion and swear by it ).

I am checking fit and finish

Jason burned me with his 8x 10 plate holder

Nothing fit

sorry to hear that,
he and his partners sold oodles of those holders I don't think anyone else had that issue.
did you measure the interior of the holder and your plates? were they modern plates or vintage?
I've got bagmags, magazine camera septi and DDS holders and they can
all present problems when loading them with plates, in my case it's typically user error ...
seeing these holders and plates I make are standard sizes and sometimes vintage plates are sold in different
non original storage receptacles ...
ive never bought modern plate holders or used vintage plates
but I know the spring on the old holders and septi are a PITA.
book style I made myself work the best ..
