During the Wet Plate Collodion workshop at the Photographers' Formulary in Condon, Montana, Will Dunniway demonstrates and Matthew Callow practices pouring a glass plate. It's a trick to do it well, as Will shows us in this 5:30 minute movie. A well covered plate is the key to a good glass negative or a striking tintype.
That is a myth about hot points using the waiter style method!
Your not touching the glass long enough from the the time you pour the collodion on the glass to the time you put it in the silver bath.
