I asked the question about using P.O.P. paper for oil prints. Some
people thought that the excess silver might cause me some problems,
others thought that I was going around my elbow to get to my thumb...
I'm simple trying to help myself as much as possible. Getting the
exposure, Temp. ink and swelling all correct is a challenge as you know
about most Alternative processes. I'm shooting 11 x 14 paper negs in my
camera so a contact speed is ok with me. I've sized Rieves BFK in trays
of warm Gelatin for Gum prints before, would 2 or 3 coatings, dried
between each give me a thick enough gel coating for oil prints? I could
simple make a contact Bromoil if I knew the right paper. Any help would
be appreciated!
