I can&#039;t contribute anything accurate or helpful unless I work with the thing and I don&#039;t post guesses. Photography was a <u>science</u> as well as an art before tintypes were invented.&nbsp; I suggest you study 19th century photochemistry / photo technology / photo manufacturing and practice the craft of making the images as they did at the time. There are many articles on the subject in professional journals and newsletters, dating back over a 150 years. Learn.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
