Dry Plates

[paulbarden]

Not so easy to cut glass to very close dims

I've been custom cutting glass for wet plate negatives for years. It's not that difficult.

I have 180 very clean glass plates

The wrong size as no members here would advise me 9 years ago

when I asked for help

I cut the almost 5X7 down to almost 4X5

There was a vendetta on me

Very similar to the X-Ray Vendetta

When all members gave no help on Gas Burst too

I forgive but

NEVER FORGET

plate sizes are always exact to the format size, the conversion septi for plate>film always takes room 1/16th +/- of an inch
cutting glass is just score and snap and sand the edge from my experience.
Xray vendetta sounds dangerous, I heard a plastic surgeon once say they've done so many tummy tucks and liposuctions they can see people naked
when they are fully clothed and have xray vision. I bought xray specs when I was a kid they didn't work.
nowadays I wear lead lined, builds up the core, helps me streak faster.

My point is nobody helped

maybe folks didn’t have the answers you were looking for I don’t know if I’d call that a vendetta .. although sometimes the internet brings out the very worst of humanity…. Hope it worked out in the end!
