Hi,
Yes
40 min. Same uv-light cyanos are one hour. But coating succeed with heavier
layer, then brushing and rolling as in tempera. Because heavier layer, even
40 min was not enough. Had to use sodium carbonate to get anything visible,
but that lost details too.

doing 2-3 minutes under UVBL which at most will be 12 is my guess under a
paper neg.

at all and it is hardy hardy hardy hardly comes off. Of course I don't
develop it with alkaline baths, just hot water.

Backlow's method to the letter. Now just made two new papers and foam rolled
the paper using more mixture than earlier and only brushing. Looking against
light, they look very even. Now it's time to expose. I made tests to find
the best exposure time in 20min steps using a grey scale ramp, and 40 mins
gave the best result, although filled with lines, the ramp was quite good,
so the negative needs only minor curve correction. Colour I'm using is Van
Gogh Patent grey.

good image with only one coating, and just to practice to get things right,
there's no need to waste time with several coatings only to find out, that
the print is ruined.
