Spending money like a drunken American sailor on leave in Pattaya, Thailand. Bought a second group of 8-ply mats and then a sink type table to wash my 16x20 plates in. Unfortunately the table is not big enough for 24 inch plates but should work fine for 2-16x20 Ambrotypes.
The plan is to fill this sink with water then to put 2 large 16x20 plates at a time in it to wash using my agitation pump system. I can rim this unit outside the trailer or in my wash tent. I think it should work well for the larger plates. Afterwards draining the water should be easier than when I use trays as there is a mid sink drain.
If this goes well, there is a possibility of purchasing a second wash sink. Wish it was big enough for 24x24 glass!
Note* The black colour is a nice bonus as it should allow me to view or at least partly view (depending how black) the plates as I wash them. Seeing your is encouraging when your involved in a long tough shooting day. You see what you have made and are inspired to work harder and create more!! Photography has always been that way for me, one image leads to another, which creates happiness.
Note** Gosh I need to sell some work, costs are sky rocketing!
