DIPPING crystallization problem

How can I dip in 6-10% AmDi/Water solution without getting the surface crystallized? What trick do you use?
I can do it in 3% solution without crystal forming on the surface, but it is not enough modulation.

Re: Chinese figurines and random stuff

Pluto, It looks amazing.
What gelatin do you use? What do you do to get it so sharp ? Can you post your procedure?

Re: coating help needed

Anyone how the idea behind this coater? coat.PNG Hi ahgu, I suspect that it is using a Doctor Blade. Something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0OfjqKQwXg Steven.

Re: coating help needed

Shim is about 50um. Final dried thickness about 7-8um thick.

What is the cause of the whiteness after developing? I don't get this with high bloom GEL , but get it with this type of 214 , 29.6mp viscosity, 5.3ph gelatin.

Re: coating help needed

The white is another issue. I suspect the cause was
1. the solution was not overnighted.
2. Did not wash out all the D after fixer.

I suspect 1 might be main cause. The gelatin needs time to form better bonds. Correct me if wrong.

Re: Milkyness in dcg

Joe,

Can you give me the ratio in weight? Not sure if the % is in mole?




I'm using a post-exposure bath which works well, as follows:

Part 1: Sodium Metabisulfite (1% solution in water)
Part 2: Aluminum Sulfate (0.2% solution in water)

Re: Sealing DCG

Did you find an epoxy with refractive index around between 1.4-1.45? Seems that is close to to the DCG.
