500ml of a 9% solution of silver nitrate and distilled water. The solution is ready to use: It has been previously activated and you can start sensitizing your plates right away.
Our silver nitrate baths are sold within borosilicate glass bottles, which are more resistant than regular glass to impact and temperature changes.
Silver nitrate is a corrosive heavy metal salt and it can cause burns in contact with your skin or any other mucous membrane of your body.
240ml of collodion. All of our collodion formulas are supplied in wide-mouth borosilicate bottles to allow an easier pour and avoid the aging of the collodion as long as possible.
The Old Workhorse formula contains 2 salts: Potassium iodide and cadmium bromide. It has a great tonal range, similar to the Quick Clear and a long shelf life, but It’s one stop slower than Lea #7.
This formula is cloudy when mixed. It will take at least a week to clear out. Although we recommend you to let it ripen and let the salts precipitate to the bottom of the bottle, it could be used before it’s completely clear. We also recommend you to buy a 250ml bottle to decant the solution.

480ml of collodion. All of our collodion formulas are supplied inside wide-mouth borosilicate bottles to allow an easier pour and avoid the aging of the collodion as long as possible.
Lea #7 formula contains 4 salts: cadmium and ammonium iodide and cadmium and ammonium bromide. It’s one stop faster than Old Workhorse or Quick Clear formulas and responds very well in all kind of temperatures. Highlights are not easily solarized.
It is transparent when mixed and could be used the day after the mixture is made. Although it is recommended to leave a little more time to take full advantage of it. Very long life.

250ml of shellac varnish. Shellac was one of the most commonly used varnishes for wet plate in the 19th century. This is the classical Shellac formula but filtered with activated carbon to lighten its color. The result is less darkening and a more similar color to the unvarnished plate.
Glossy finish, but a little less than sandarac rubber.
The use of alcohol based varnishes is suitable for freshly made collodion. If your plate has been shot with an old collodion we recommend you to choose an acrylic varnish to prevent dissolving the image. You could also seal your plate with a glass dome and Canada Balsam.
Our varnishes are sold in borosilicate glass bottles, which are easy to clean and more resistant than regular glass to impact and temperature changes.
If you have trouble with this varnish dissolving your images, adding a few ml of distilled water to the varnish could solve this problem.
