Hi Nate,

Thank you so much for your suggestions!
I tried 3M 9500 before but after 3 years some dags came off from glass/plexiglas mount.
I think the backing of adhesive is too solid (it’s polyester Film) and should be more elastic.
(*But I suppose it works great on tintypes, because they are much lighter than silver-plates)

I also tried Velcro too & that worked perfect!
It’s only one demerit is it’s thickness..

p.s. 1-2 plates shown in the attached image nearly fell off during the recent show. That made a stuff in the museum freak out…

Thank you for the image and detailed information. So did you use hyper-sensitizing method with this plate?
Also I have one strange question: How did those two kids react to the flashlight?? Wasn’t that little painful? (They look happy though)
I’m planning to take portraits of elderly people so I just want to know..

Thanks a lot Craig!
30,000Ws sounds somehow pretty destructive.. Maybe I should also use Mike Robinson’s white camera to reduce total watts.

P.S. I tried 3000W for wet plates and that worked quite well with F-stop 3.5.
