Yes, I know--I think, although I could be mistaken so please correct me, that the collodion could be more adherent than the liquid emulsion, but it helps still to know that you use that particular plate. I had students who had no problem with the emulsion adhering and then students who had it completely fall off so as always, practice makes (more) perfect.
