Do you know your way around a darkroom? Are you only looking for answers to how the wax plates work, or would you be starting from scratch with this?

i know enough of my way around a darkroom. i can develop the film just fine, but the process of printing onto a wax plate (which i know how to make) is where i am lost. i think i would need liquid emulsion right?
I’ve never done it before, but had some friends who did. My understanding is that you’d use the liquid emulsion to make your surface (in this case, a wax plate) responsive to light. Then, you print and develop as if it were photo paper.
The trick is the printing time. It might be a good idea to prepare two wax plates at the same time and use one for a strip test.
And I don’t remember them mentioning whether or not the printing times or developing times were affected by how the liquid emulsion had been applied.

thanks for the advice, i appreciate it. i just found this website called alternativephotography.com and it goes over a lot of different techniques. including, liquid emulsion!
so im stoked about that. btw, i love the south side of chi-town. i was living near pilsen this summer and it was wonderful!
