Once you decide your sizes that you may need.....you can
avoid that high dollar by finding a person who works in
glass art or just works in glass. They usually have rods.
That's what they begin with. And i used the solid rods. The
others seemed fragile to me.
I got several sizes made for next to nothing...as it was a
friend. I had her make the rod have two arms. It's very simply
done by with a torch and the arms are to made at a 90 degree
angle like this.... [ .

Folks,
After lurking (mostly) for a while, I've determined to try different
Alt-Photo disciplines - probably salted albumen, van dyke Brown, Kallitype
and someday Palladium/Platinum.
In checking with RD Specialties. I find they have a starter set of 5 rods -
I've asked them what sizes are in that set - they make from no. 3 to 75.
What sizes do I need for proper coating? Thought it wise to ask before
buying. A full set of every one of their size rods cost $230. -- need to
avoid that for sure.
thanks,
Vince Dobson
