Re: facial tanners for UV light?
Yes, I would be grateful for a copy. Can you e-mail them as pdf or
jpeg files?

for building an "Inexpensive" light source and also one for building
what he

if anyone
is interested I would be glad to copy the relevant pages and send it
to
them. I guess that since the company is no longer in business I
should not
have to worry about copyright infringement. The plans cover 18",
24" and
48" sources. I built one with 24" 40watt bulbs that seems to work
fine.

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.
