Re: what I've learned about cyanotype thru PDN

Hi:

CMHC has some info on dehumidifiers - they also briefly mention Homemade dehumidifiers

http://www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/en/burema/gesein/abhose/abhose_ce27.cfm

A small commercial dehumidifier may work. - Though being in Saskatchewan I
don't have much experience with excessive humidity :)

You should use the minimum amnt. of solution that will cover your coating area. I use 1.5ml coating solution per 8x10 print - my brush is a nicely moistened Da Vinci brush (a good synthetic brush! I dip the brush in distilled water then brush on a paper towel to moisten it without diluting the coating solution).
