Rubbing alcohol = Isopropyl alcohol? Acetic acid?
Dear helpful folks, I'm sizing up (pardon the possible pun) the logistics of attempting albumen printing. My reference is Mike Robinson's article in John Barnier's book. My local phamacist would have to order in a litre of Isopropyl Alcohol 70%, but has 250ml containers of "Rubbing Alcohol" Are these the same? Intended use: to harden the first albumen coat. And is 28% Acetic Acid the same as Glacial Acetic Acid? My usual chemistry supplier via their Sydney branch won't normally ship volatile acids from their Mebourne chemistry store, but at least they know what the use is. Other more local suppliers don't always understand what they consider unorthodox uses and it helps to know what ask for.
