Witho,
Any idea as to the cause of this?

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).

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.
Best,
Sandy
