I'll recheck this...
I used to do exposures on the order of 15 minutes on Crane's
Platinotype. The current bulbs (I'll get spec) are "hotter" than my
old box (my Palladium exposures are about 1/3 what they were before?
maybe I'm just getting more impatient the older I get:-)
Papers have different speeds I've noticed - and this paper seems faster
with Cyanotype.
I will review my exposures - I am seeing 5-6 steps turning "prussian
white (?)" on a *31* step tablet. I'm getting to a max Dmax? But
I'll return to this.
Regardless - the difference between the foam brush and hake brush
result was stark at the current exposure.
