Costs For Wet Plate Mounting

Did another buy of chemicals from Antique Pictureology in Nova Scotia today. The costs are mounting. I added another $612.35 CAD bill. Last week did a bit Ethyl Ether and Hypo buy for wet plate.

Bought me

- 200 grams of Silver Nitrate
- 4x500ml bottles of Collodion USP
- Pyrogallic Acid

Beefore I am completed KANATA, tens of thousands of dollars will be spent, possibly 100s of thousands. I hope I can recover some of that money back in wet plate/darkroom/large format camera workshops and in print sales (the big unknown!).
