Re: Cleric's Gold Toner
David,
Thanks for the formula and the correction on the spelling. It looks like
reagents are acids or salts
so my guess is that the toner is already acidic. I doubt if the additional
Tartaric Acid would change the pH so are likely correct in that all it would
do would be to dilute the toner. With toners, sometimes a slight changed can
produce an interesting result.

Bob,
The toner's full name is Clerc's Thiourea Gold Toner not Cleric's. I'm
pretty sure this one is a pretty standard one.
But the formula is:
Gold Chloride (1% Solution) - 12.5 ml.
Thiourea (1% solution) - 12.5 ml.
Tartaric Acid - 0.12 gm
Sodium Chloride - 5.0 gm
Distilled water to make - 250 ml.
I got the formula off the web but it comes from 'Making Kallitypes' Dick
Stevens.
I'm still not sure what kind of effect accidently raising the Tartaric
Acid to 12 gm would have? Do you think that it would only dillute the
effect of the toner? That's what it appeared to do.
thanks
david

Dave et al,
I love to collect formulas. I don't believe I have heard of Cleric's Gold
Toner. Would you please post the formula to the list?
Thanks,
