[Alt-photo] Re: Was Sulfamic now VDB and pt/pd gold leaf

[Marek Matusz]

Loris,
 
Does the argyrotype take that well to the gold toning. WOuld you have some examples to look at?
 
I tried argyrotype years back and it was a disaster, but now I am ready to try it again on acid treated Fabriano soft press that gave me wonderful results with palladium.
