HI All,

I know that 'glazing' prints is considered a dastardly deed, but I thought
I may try it as an experiment.

I remember reading (Nadeau?) that one method of obtaining a gloss surface
on an alternative print was to immerse the print in gelatin, perhaps a
couple of times, harden the gelatin in formaldehyde or glyoxal then
ferrotype the print face down on a sheet of glass.

Anybody tried this method? Any advice and do's and dont's?

                        Cheers ....... Tony McLean.
