    using glycerin

    who here can tell me about the proper way to utilize glycerin with palladium....I think it might help to coat some papers I've been trying out
    Best, Peter

    a. I was using it for print-out Pd, at times when the RH was too low for a decent print-out and/or neutral(ish) hue. It's a humectant (and inert - regarding the reactions that occur during exposure and/or development), therefore helps very much in retaining moisture in paper. (I was adding 2-4 drops per ml of coating solution...)

    b. I know it can also be used diluted 1:1 (with developer) for brush development of pure Pt prints...

    What is your actual problem - that you think glycerin may solve? If it's poor absorption, then I'd suggest a non-ionic surfactant like Tween...
