Hi all,
Thank you all!I received US plates from Alan,Greg,Mike,Rob and Andy.Jeff sent plates to me from USA and Alan sent from NZ.Now I know how a silvered plate and a real dag looks like.
I take these US plates to my plater and he do his best to make Chinese plates close to them.Though my plater still has some problem but we are so happy:we make them better and better.
My own plates are still little hard to be polished,but after polished,they works well.
I took a shot this afternoon and bellow is the results.
I just take a photo by Digital camera,and do nothing in PS.The dag looks more better than the image bellow.This image is less in contrast.
There was an ancident during mercury develop.The temperature gauge was out of battery after about 5 minute.I tried to change a new battery and upset the spirit-lamp,the alcohol came out and fired my table.I
attacked the fire and it was extinguished.After finish that,I forgot how long the plates was developed.Beacause of that,this dag was ruined by extra Hg.
I gilded it with gilding stand which I made from iron wire.I used to gild plates by putting them into a pan.I need more practices.
I will keep in process.
best,
Li
