I Made And Sunned Filter This Weekend

Today's filtering of Silver Nitrate with a fresh mixed bottle of Quinn Quick Clear Collodion alongside. Will eventually need at least 4 of these 5 litre silver nitrate bottles,  when making 35x35 inch plates, EXPENSIVE!

Note* 2 make-up style pads are inserted into each funnel. You filter until there is no black material from the sunned silver nitrate left on in the pads. I usually do about 2 cycles of 3 funnels, sometimes more.

Filtering 3 funnels at a time, takes around 2 hours for the liquid to drip through.
