Having tried platinum 'both ways' I came to prefer the traditional method
- it seemed to produce better shadow separation from ny negatives.
However from a Health & Safety point of view, large baths of potassium
oxalate are probably best avoided.
EDTA is doubtless most effective as a clearing agent.
I find it hard to understand Dick Sullivans comments on double coating.
Simple experiments will confirm it gives richer results - but obviously
at a price.
I once had the somewhat frightening experience of having one of my prints
exhibited next to a Frederick Evans print of Lincoln Cathedral. I was
glad I had double coated that print.
