I added Walmart Acetone to my old Collodion to see if I could revitalize it a bit. Online they recommend 1 drop of Acetone to 100ml of old mixed collodion. I gave a 1000ml lab bottle of collodion around 15 small drops.
We shall see what happens? It is supposed to add a bit of speed and refresh the collodion.
Did up an 11x14 inch Ambrotype for the first time in a long time tonight. Was using old collodion and a vinegar developer with sugar.
1000 ml White Vinegar
30 gr iron
40 ml bio ethanal (my version of alcohol)
40 gr white sugar
6+ minutes in the Silver Bath
I gave 7 hits with the Blackline flash at 2400 watts, one head. The lens was my Russian copy at f32
