Examples of emulsion making....

[Ryuji]

Denise, thanks for explanation.

A few years ago I tested a lot of papers, and I, too, found Fabriano Artistico extra white in hot press surface to work very well, but I have been taking different route on coating.

Ahhh, a simple, inexpensive solution. I'm going to keep this in mind in case I get the coating "bug".

Ryuji,

I am copying the emulsion formula that you graciously sent me in a separate e-mail, here in this post. Since I am about to spend substantial dollars on lab equipment and chemicals, can you please explain how to best implement the formula you sent me. You said in a previous post that this is a beginning formula. I would like to use this formula. Here is the formula that you sent, copied below exactly as received:

If you can send usage and / or build instructions (proportions, concentrations, durations of additions or mixing, etc) that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
