Since it has been brought up, does anyone have a good formula for a
simple dusting-on process? Mine doesn't seem to work well:

Pt. A: 28 ml honey
30 ml gum arabic

Pt. B: 30 ml ammonium dichromate (saturated solution)

2 parts A: 1 part B, coated on paper and exposed under a positive.
Develop by blowing hot air - unexposed areas become tacky and accept
dusted on pigment, human remains, etc.

Thanks,

Dan
