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.
