Ordered 3-1000 ml bottles of vegetable glycerine last night. Cost was $60 CAD including shipping. Will use the glycerine when I need to keep the glass Ambrotype plates wet in the field before fixing or washing. With the glycerine on the glass you can safely preserve and transport the plate to a location where fixing and or washing can occur. It allows you time to transport and do a redevelopment of glass negatives.
Note* You cannot dry then re-wet wet collodion ambrotypes and negs as the collodion will peel off the plate and be damaged. They must stay wet till completion and dried only one time.
