I found in the archives the advice -by Judy- to make paper negatives more
transparent by ironing parrafine on the back of the paper.
So I did and it works.
The RC papers cannot be parrafined -I have to admit, yes...it really looks
funny-.
The best results I had with Kentmere ArtDoc, it is fairly thin.
For Mike Wares cyanotype and a tanning bed from a garage sale I needed:
- 6 min. for a transparant copy from the RC Ilford neg.
- 30 min with a parrafine Kentmere paper neg.
- 60 min with a parrafine Ilford FB paper neg.
- 2 hours for an Ilford RC paper neg.

All necessary info I found in the Alt-photo archives via a search machine
-www.hotbot.com-on INTERNET, also the peeling , I think it was Pete making the
explanation.

Hope this helps,

Henk
