Henk and Dave,
A very interesting suggestion. But what...um...is rabbit glue?
Will wet prints stick with rabbit glue (do you affix them after processing,
which, in my case, is traditional wet silver processing)? And what's a
good source for aluminum sheets?
I like the idea of the "shiny" effect, because drying in pellon or blotters
seems to really dull the blacks in the prints.
Thanks,
Rita
