I'm curious if anyone on the list has ever mixed cyanotype solution or VDB
directly with gelatin for coating on paper?

I used to use some gelatin in my Pt sensitizer to keep it more on the surface of the paper and give the prints a bit of gloss -- it worked well. I don't see any reason in principle why it wouldn't work with VD/Kallitype.

Best regards,
