Product Information

Lift the plate out of the bath, drain and wipe the back, load it into a plate holder and protect from light with a dark slide. Also, do not apply Rigid Collodion to the same area more than 1 day in a row without professional supervision.

If it stings, burns, or itches, remove the Collodion immediately with spirit gum remover or isopropyl alcohol and then rinse the area thoroughly.

I also got more salts than needed for just that formula, so after I’m done with this batch I’ll try some others. You can peel the Collodion off slowly with your fingers without spirit gum remover, but this will remove a thin layer of skin cells. After the collodion dries and forms a solid sheet covering the optic, it is carefully peeled away, taking contamination with it.

Seek medical attention if you have trouble breathing or the pain doesn’t subside after the Collodion is removed.

It is the nitrocellulose that acts as a binder and carrier for photo-sensitive salts of silver while making wet collodion images.
