Whats the best safelight to use with liquid emulsions?
With Liquid Light or Ag-Plus, use a light amber (OC) or medium amber (13) safelight, preferably the former as it gives much more light. You can also use a light red (1A) or medium red (1) safelight with Liquid Light. With Liquid Light VC, use a light red (1A) or medium red (1) safelight, preferably the former because it gives much more light. Do not use an amber safelight with Liquid Light VC. What’s the difference between preparing glass and ceramics with glossy polyurethane and the gelatin subbing? Both methods seem to work okay. With the subbing method, the emulsion fuses directly to the ceramic or glass for an effect you won’t get with polyurethane, so it is the first choice. But subbing won’t work with plastics or with glass-like materials like Plexiglas or Lucite, only with true mineral glass or glazed ceramics. If in doubt, use glossy polyurethane*. It will provide adhesion on virtually any material– glass, ceramics, metals, rocks, etc.– and will also seal the pores of many po
