Save This Ambrotype?

Today is Thursday a bit late in the week to start on the wet plate imagery but was busy preparing, finding the dump items, storing chemicals, cleaning etc. Plus all of life's little chores.


When I was cleaning the failed 8x10 plates from lat time round, the emulsion on this one peeled away rather dramatically. Might try to save it. Probably not, but its fun to play with such stuff.
 
 
First look of the plate, some of the collodion has come off
Still using the old hospital drying cabinet I bought years ago.
This this is current look of the plate
Added my 20x24 washer from darkroom #1 today (emptying that space). It should work well for Ambrotypes.
