Liquid emulsion

[Pyrogallol]

I have a bottle of liquid photo emulsion, two actually, and the one I am still using is years old, from Jessops closing down sale.

This is a copy of a print I made a couple of days ago. I have some nice thick hand made Indian art paper, sold for painting and drawing.

I coat the paper, under the darkroom safelight. One sheet at a time plus a small teststrip piece in an empty photo paper box, so it can be left in the dark in the box to dry. And coat as many sheets as I have empty boxes for, some A5 and some A4.

When processing a print, with this emulsion, I have to be careful not to have the chemicals too warm or the emulsion will easily melt off the paper and turn the fixer black.

The negative is from a Leica 3g and 75mm Voigtlander lens.

Anyone else using liquid emulsion?

I have a bottle of that, probably as old as yours! Never actually tried it!

Your experiment has inspired me to try it soon. I have just refurbished/commissioned my old darkroom and need to get back into the 'saddle'.
