Doublecoating means coat, dry, then coat & dry again before exposing. On
some papers the density is remarkably deepened. But on some, usually thin
& slick (ooh la la!), 2nd coat seems to wipe out first & no improvement.
Like the song says, test, test test.
PS To Dave: Next issue of Post-Factory, scheduled for this summer, will
be about cyanotype (or a lot about cyanotype). And PPS: you don't know
easy til you've done (old) cyano (my first love in "non-silver").
