Thank you for the fix ratios and also for the bromine water 1 to 100 ratio. Also Robinsons Quick is definitely the route I will pursue.

Again THANK YOU

Yes I understand what you mean about the size and effect and I agree. But my photographic technique is a little bit different. I want to shoot using a endoscopic lens with no camera. Long multiple exposures. I have done this before with 8 x 10″ Positive film. Please go to http://www.jeremylynch.de to get an idea of what I am talking about. Most of the Dag will not be exposed onto light. Think of it as drawing on a dag with a long pencil shaft of light.

Also the ideal of having a team of assistants around sounds appealing, but I have resorted to growing a third arm instead.

Makes sense with the cheese cloth lying on the crystals to “theoretically help to diffuse/even-out the vapors in the box”. It would be interesting to get high speed footage of the event. To see how Iodine moves, circulates over time, inside the box and over the plate. I bet you it is quite sexy and a lot could be learned.

Dreaming out loud.

Cheers Jeremy Lynch and thanks Rob for the tip.

Photolytic, respect! Thank you for the information, you answered all the questions I had.

He was testing wet-iodine sensitization using Iodine in solution, resublimed Iodine, which gases at a greater rate? Interesting but I was thinking maybe it is important to get a more even fumed plate with the Iodine gas. Maybe placing a thin membrane filter 2 inches above the Iodine and 2 ” below the plate so the gas will seep, roll onto the plate in an even fashion.

I could be talking crap here and your link may be the solution and I am just complicating things here?

Thanks greg7mdp for the info, but unfortunately I can not excess the link, I get a “not found 404 message.” Is there any other link? As for a significant undertaking, 20 x 24″ plates, yes, one could say that, but crazy and insane is a little bit closer to the mark though. Fortunately for me I have found that Daguerreotypists are a sharing lot that enjoys solving technical problems. And with 20 x 24″ plates there will be a many problems to encounter and also many solutions.
