[alt-photo] Van Dyke Brown - cloudy emulsion when combining Sol'n C to A+B

[Brian Pawlowski]

Std solutions (Fe Ammon Citrate is A, Tartaric Acid B, Silver Nitrate C).

Distilled water, made solutions separate. Stirred until all dissolved. Put
A+B - no problem. Added C to A+B (perhaps too rapidly) - got a very cloudy
emulsion that settles a bit on sitting - 60ml cloudy bottom (clearly visible
through brown glass), 40ml clear on top?

Help?

Chemicals about 1.5 years old (dry) from Art Craft (FAC), Tartaric Acid
Photographer's Formulary.

Coated COT 320 - 31 step table for 8 minutes. VERY LIGHT brown image (not
dark) - yet I am 2 - 3 stops overexposed looking at merged steps, see a nice
scale.

ARGH!

Thanks in advance,
Brian
