I usualy wait untill the plate is sensitized to pose the subject so they do not have to wait so long, the plate will be sensitive for a while.

@kpkndusa Thanks for your comments. Yes, typically tintypists and photographers did a preliminary posing, manipulation of the skylight, reflectors and diffusers and then suggested the sitter relax while the plate was sensitized. Just before the exposure they made quick final adjustments and critical focus. In fact, that's what we did during the filming of this video. However, there were many intermediate steps that we did not include in this piece in an effort to keep it succinct...

...It's not really a teaching didactic on the entire tintype process, just a quick glimpse for the average museum visitor for the Civil War exhibit we just featured here at the museum.
Even though you sound like an experienced wet plater, you might want to know that we teach workshops on tintype, ambrotype, wet & dry collodion negatives, collodion opaltype and collodion chloride emulsion printing-out paper here at the museum. Feel free to contact me directly at mosterman@geh.org - Best , Mark
