Uncoated wooden board for coating with liquid photo emulsion, fine art emulsions (cyanotype, argyrotype, solarfast inks) or for painting and gluing.
The wooden board is approximately 2mm thick and glued to a frame made of 18mm wooden strips. The boards should be pre-treated with photographic gelatin before use.

Suitable for
- Cyanotype
- Solarfast Colors

For coating we recommend using our sponge brushes, or for artistic brushstrokes our Hake goat hair brushes.
Processing instructions
- To ensure that the cyanotype solution adheres well to the surface, the wooden plate must first be pre-coated with a 5% gelatin solution, e.g. our ADOX Coating Gelatin.
- After drying, the chemicals can be applied and then exposed after further drying.
Development/washing and drying
- To prevent the wood from swelling excessively, do not soak for too long or with too much water. It's best to first place the wooden board, image side down, in cold water for about 10 minutes to develop. Then gently rinse with running water for another 1-2 minutes. Carefully dab away any moisture with a cloth and lay the wooden board out to dry.
