Ware's Cyano On Pot ... Instead of NH4 Dichromate
Maybe someone with experience could answer, or possibly a chemist. Would it matter when formulating Ware's Cyanotype to use Potassium Dichromate instead of Ammonium Dichromate? My understanding is that Ammonium Dichromate is used only as a preservative. Would the K in Potassium Dichromate crystalise out in a similar manner as the Potassium Iron (III) Oxalate does? Or would I be left with an excess of K ions in the mix? My question amounts to: can Potassium Dichromate be used as a substitute when Ammonium Dichromate is not immediately available. ~m
