Summary of Precautions

  • Keep separate the cloths for cleaning the glass, &c.
  • Be careful to clean the glass thoroughly.
  • Any cloth when once used for cleaning a plate of glass after the application of the hypo-sulphite of soda should be kept for this purpose alone.
  • Avoid the too near proximity of diffused light, or that of a candle or lamp, unless it is shaded by a yellow screen of glass.
  • Take care that your solutions are put into bottles with lips.
  • Clean the stopper and neck of the collodion bottle after each day’s use.
  • Avoid disturbing any sediment there may be at the bottom of the iodized collodion bottle; and if there should be much sediment, pour off the clear solution from it into a clean bottle for use.
  • Keep separate a cup or measure for the developing solution, as also one for the application of the hypo-sulphite of soda.
  • Keep clear all the solutions by filtration.
