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.
