[Alt-photo] Re: Papers for Palladium

[dhowk]

Unsized Kozo or similar paper does seem to require a different  
coating method. His brushing on of the sensitizer looks good, but I  
wonder about potential streaking. I've adopted a puddle method for  
Goyu Kozo wherein I add extra water to the sensitizer mix. Pour on  
sheet of glass making a puddle, then lay the paper on top. When dry,  
treat it as normal.
