Mac,
I wonder at your question. The developer for wet plate is vinegar and
ferrous sulfate. This ferrous sulfate is an Iron supplement for your garden.
Also mixed in is touch of paint thinner known as denatured alcohol along
with a lot of water. It smells and is sometimes referred to as old cider
and nails.
Nothing dangerous here in the big scheme of things.
For collodion emulsion they are the same as for modern photography.
Ken
