[Alt-photo] Re: GUM - Wash paper after hardening

[Luciano Teghillo]

Thanks. I do a separate path and use 60ml 37% formalin in 4 liters of water.
Seems like I could use less formalin. What do you think?

Regards,
Luciano

No need to wash after formalin hardening. Formalin evaporates readily.
Could be different for other kinds of hardeners...

Loris.

P.S. Mind that I use very little formalin, 0.5ml per 100ml 3% gelatin
solution.
