RE: Mike Ware's POP Pt./Pd. Pt
Hi Sandy. No I haven't, I just used B&S FO for my Kallitype tests... But I found this: http://www.usask.ca/lists/alt-photo-process/2003/jan03/0480.htm I also remember something about this is APUG forums. IIRC, the guy who tried it says it works despite the fact that the sensitizer turns cloudy. Though I'm pretty sceptical about working w/ a cloudy sensitizer, and not everyone's criteria match always...

Pt Hi Loris, Will get the lithium chloride. Your advice has been outstanding so far, and I am very pleased with the results. Just wondering, have you done any work with AFO and kallitype? The clearing of prints in Disodium EDTA made with FAO and Ammonium Tetrachloropalladate (II) is so quick and easy I am wondering if the procedure can be adapted to silver nitrate.
