RE: softening gelatin.

Judy,

I've always wanted to try gum over uranium prints. I wonder what the
long-term effects of radiation would have on the colloid? And would it be
possible to add something to the gum emulsion that would glow? Seeing that
uranium nitrate is readily available at a decent price, are there
instructions available somewhere on how to go about making uranium prints?
If I recall, Bob Schramm and Jewelia Margaritte Cameroon have both discussed
making uranium prints, but couldn't find any directions anywhere.

This would certainly be more "scientific," measurable and repeatable than
pineapple skin. What are these enzymes generally sold for (or is that
something I don't want to know?)???

New topic: I got to chatting with someone last night who told me a
friend of hers had bought "uranium" (I assume uranium nitrate) on e-bay
and was making uranium prints. Does e-bay have a chemicals division,
or...???
