RE: Mike Ware's POP Pt./Pd. Pt
Hallo Sandy, Be sure to do a very good final wash when using EDTA for clearing. If the wash is not complete you will face that palladium will come off the paper during time (one or two years).

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.
