[LargeFormat] RE: RDS Laboratory Rods

[Ole Tjugen]

Vince,

I just tried salted paper for the first time today... A reasonable success, but would have been better if I hadn't been to stingy on the silver 
nitrate solution.

You don't need rods at all - except possibly for platinum/palladium. A flat brush, about an inch or so wide, is better - except when the 
coating is as expensive as Pd/Pt.
