I guess another benefit of using #PTFE as the #carbontissue support is that it's dimensionally stable but also think this particular type I'm using is permeable??? I applied it using water but it seemed more wet than I expected it to be. I recall a brand called #gorotex or something like that where a plastic was made to be water permeable. I could be totally wrong. But the tissue is drying in record time. And yeah the previous try was another thankless failure although I did see gelatin details.

Well, the #carbontransfer is happening as we speak. I have my experiment #gluteraldehyde #sized paper and surface #citrate #sensitized and #UVexposed #carbontissue face to face under some weights. Neither dissolved in the process. However I didn't see a relief image after a couple minutes in the 3% #peroxide bath. So I think I'm in for another failed print. But it was fun so far. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Even if I just get a total black tissue transfered, that would be a win for me.

Okay, I've coated my first paper sheet with #gluteraldehyde mixed into the #sizing gelatin. I used the same 10% #gelatin mix that I used for the #carbontissue. Last failure, I learned that I was able to expose an image on carbon and that #UV #light does indeed #harden gelatin and prevents the water from just #dissolving it. Now, tomorrow, I expect to actually have at least a shitty #image not float away in liquid form for the first time... following #instructions works sometimes. We'll see.
