Just a few things I've found this weekend @ Home Depot/Lowes a. 5x7 Aluminum Step Flashing 10 pieces ~2.00 (85-068) (roofing Dept) nice flat rather thin aluminum pieces(Amerimax Home Products) too thick for good pinholes but flexible enough to play with. Also real good for doing "modern" tintypes with Liquid Photo Emulsion. Make sure you get a pack that isn't bent or creased...
b. Really nice large trays cheep. Look for Refrigerator trays. I guess people put their refrigerators in them to stop condensation from running on the floor. They are a few inches hi and bigger than the size of the footprint of a large refrigerator. The are less than $10 each. Nice for processing that really big paper negative.. c. Bellow Patching compound. Equinox Photographic - equi...@pond.net . Put it on with a small brush or Q-Tip. Flexible seal...just nice stuff. (not at HD/Lowes..) well enough rambling & hope this helps someone. KOPH'n andy
