Re: facial tanners for UV light?
Thanks Judy. And it so happens that I actually HAVE issue #6 of the
Post-Factory journal. I pulled it out last night, and sure enough,
there was the article on UV light ideas. What a great source of
information I had forgotten I had - about 6 issues.
Sunlight would be fine for me, but I still have a day job (on a
computer all day).

Or build your own:
All you need are from 5 to 10 blacklight fluorescent bulbs (see Bulb
Direct, Just Bulbs, Bulbtronic, et al on the Internet) and about $10
worth of lumber plus 2 sheets of plate glass for the "sandwich" (of
negative & coated paper) and some mild carpentry skills to make your
own light table. Several (including my own) are illustrated with
instructions ("Light Carpentry") in Post-Factory #6. (My favorite is
possibly Nick Makris's,
which ingeniously folds up for storage.)
But there are also many sources for plans... I forget the name of
the prepared platinum paper (now defunct) that had a brochure with
instructions for building your own, but Edwards (I think was the
name) also provided plans for a setup, including fan. I think also
somewhere in its history Bostick & Sullivan may have had a booklet
or brochure with plans.
Bob Schramm used mercury vapor bulbs on his barn ceiling. "Exposures
are long," he said, but "the coverage is large."
Not to forget sunlight, which some folks have all year round.
