What is your bleach? Mild alkalis such as sodium carbonate, ammonia,
borax all work well as cyanoype bleaches. If you're mentioning ordinary
Sodium Hypochlorite bleach, it's no good for bleaching cyanotypes...
BTW, Toning with tea will stain the paper considerably, if you can find
tannic acid it would work much better, without staining...
Hope this helps,
Loris.

Subject: Toning the Cyantoype
Wicked cool...found a bunch of toning recipes and tools to get me
started: tannic acid from tea bags (are earl grey, ceylon, or green tea
variations important to note?), instant coffee, and lead acetate...I
have all three of these and access to loads of household bleach...does
the lead acetate tone require bleaching? my stack of cyanotypes
awaits...
Enjoy...Trevor Cunningham
