RE: Lagrange cyanotype
Congrats in advance for the show. Please share the images with some gallery shots with us later - if possible... Will contact you off-list for the other subjects.

I think I tried this way also, but it didn't work for me too. No, I haven't problems with traditional cyanotype (but with the Ware version I have troubles at clearing too). I just have a kilo of Ammonium Iron Oxalate and I was curious, how this formula works. I am just preparing material for my next show in September (first real alt-exhibition in Slovenia with more than one alt techniques!) and I would like to include as much different variants as I can. What is solution strength for the Cyanotype Rex (if this is not a formula, you must have pay for?) I think some time ago you arrage to sell gold chloride (or some similar thing which I don't recall right now) for mixing the gold toner, which is in Istanbul cheaper than in other parts of Europe. I need gold toner for VDBs and salt prints, my Tetenal GT is running out. I am curious if I can make it DIY cheaper. Please, send me more informations off-list if this offer is still valid.
