Re: Fish Eyes again
When I was in Montana teaching at the Formulary 3 years ago, I sent my wife and kids to the local liquor store in Condon to buy TWO half-gallon bottles of Everclear so we could drive it back to California, where it is not available. The wet plate collodion process uses a lot of the 190 proof. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Kerik www.kerik.com Original Message: ----------------- From: Christina Z.

A woman going into a liquor store buying Everclear in the day? Not good. But evening--they may think that I am making one of those slushy things. Everclear is just sooo.....wrong. I went into a liquor store in South Carolina to get my bottle and at the counter I told the guy I was using it in a photographic process and he said, "Yeah, whatever lady..." and he was NOT being nice about it.
