Some small upgrades to the darkroom trailer. I am trying to make it road worthy so I can get out in July and start making Ambrotypes.
The additions include a pump attached to the counter top that I intend to use for agitation to wash plates in the field (plan on using Sodium Thiosulfate fix). The pump will run off of a 3000 watt inverter/solar set up or 110 electric. I might also use a pump set up to pull the silver from the silver bath tanks and put it back into its bottles. Will be working with tanks up to 35x35 inches.
Other additions involve lots of screwing down of things, to prevent them from moving! Everything has been screwed to the floor and had strings added to prevent plastic drawers opening.
Earlier in the week I had multiple water leaks, that problem seemed solved now. Need to figure out how to transport, glass flasks, beakers and graduates safely. Still a ways to go but things are coming round!!
