Under RED light


step 5 warm the gelatin emulsion in its container in a warm water bath ( do not warm in hot water it may damage the gelatin and the silver in the emulsion )


step 6 then apply the silver gelatin emulsion to the glass over the varnish


step 7 lay flat to dry in a dark place, the plate may take a couple of hours to completely dry


the plate is now ready to use in camera


Expose
the exposer will depend on the emulsion used, I use Liquid Light which has an ASA of 2 and Ag Plus which has an ASA of 8. Double coat of the emulsion will half the exposer time and if you add extra silver nitrate to the emulsion will also speed up the exposer.


Develop


develop like you would normal silver gelatin paper.
