With my first 16x20 Ambrotype done yesterday I had adhesion issues. The non ether added G Collodion was very soppy and easily came off the glass. Today I immersed the whole plate in Albumen(3 egg whites mixed with 2100ml distilled water., There were no issues with collodion not sticking. The G Collodion worked fine as did the Quinn Quick Clear.
Note* I have a bunch of QQC Collodion as well as a large mix of QQC Iodizer. Need to use it up. So far my fav Collodion is the no added ether G stuff, I threw together on my own.
Note* Loads of firsts today. A great learning day, enjoyable as well!

QQC Collodioni, think the line of nothing is the silver tank, low at the end of the day. The clear spots are from a sloppy developer pour I think.

G Collodion, kind of evil looking on the floor.

Early 16x20 made with G Collodion on Albuen plate, did not keep it.
