Great video! I have searched APUG and found a lot of useful discussion about which type of gelatin is suitable for emulsion making. I have not been able to find a recommendation or source of supply (pardon me if I missed the obvious). Since shipping is always an issue to my remote location - the North of Canada, I usually buy in bulk for supplies that are stable. Please advise, or PM me if you would rather not respond on list.
Cheers,
Clarence
The Formulary sells photo grade gelatin, but I'm working on other sources.
Rousselot is willing to sell, and Kodak is 'coming around'.
Tim, I have no 2008 schedule as yet for workshops. I have so many commitments right now that I can barely keep up with 'research'. I'm sorry I cannot help you.

It will not work. You need to have two emulsions with different characteristics and different sensitivities. There are several articles on the internet, including on the Ilford site, that describe how this works.
Hand coating with a blade seems ridiculously difficult to me. A ceramic analox roller, as used in flexography with a doctor blade would be so much easier and more precise. Well just read your post from new years day last year ... I'm not slow to understand, just fast at misunderstanding.
