Gold Toning POP I should warn you that the that weights and
measures are not only in ounces and fluid ounces but also Grains,Drachms,
and Minims. Quite quaint really, but more romantic than the boring
old metric system!! Part A :- Gold Chloride (one percent soln). Part B :- Amonium Sulphicyanide (one percent soln). To make toning bath dilute Parts A and B one to nine by volume with water.

TONING Colour Sulphocyanide (diluted) Gold (diluted) Red 12 minims 2 drachms 0 minims For Carmine Tones Ammonium
Sulphocyanide 75 grains For Black Tones (1) For Black Tones (2) Add to the above Stock Toning Bath Which Keeps Heat 1.5 fld. ozs. distilled water to 100 deg. F, add 15 grains gold chloride and 150 grains strontium chloride, and heat to nearly boiling. Heat also 1.5 fld. ozs. distilled water and 40 grains potassium sulphocyanide to nearly boiling, and add gold solution in 2 drachm lots, with stirring. Allow to cool and make up to 30 drachms To make bath add 4 - 8 ozs of water to 1 drachm of the stock solution To Arrest Gold Toning :- Sodium Sulphite 50 grains, water 10 fld. ozs. Brush Toning Soln. A. Ammonium Sulphocyanide ten percent soln Soln. B. Sodium Phosphate ten percent soln Soln. C. A saturated Borax soln Soln. D. Gold Chloride one grain per drachm Take
soln A, 70 minims add ater to make 5 drachms; then add little by Bath contains approx. sulphocyanide 7 grains,
gold chloride 1 grain, Apply with sort camel hair mop to dry print, tones in two minutes. Platinum Toning (for matt prints) (a). Potassium Chloroplatinite 3 grains Sodium Chloride 50 grains Citric Acid 50 grains Water 20 fld. ozs. (b). Potassium Chloroplatinite 2 grains (c). Potassium Chloroplatinite 2 grains Immerse dry prints in a ten percent salt bath
for five minutes, wash and To Arrest Platinum Toning:- Sodium Carbonate (cryst.) 10 grains, Water 1fld. oz. Develope, needing no toning (matt prints) Pyro 3 grains gives Reddish Sepia or with 10 minims Bichromate:- Brown. The above will do for a start, if you want
any more , please ask,
Soln. B. Sodium Phosphate ten percent soln Take soln A, 70 minims add ater to make 5 drachms; then add little by little, soln D., one drachm; and next soln B., 30 minims: soln C., 80 minims. Bath contains approx. sulphocyanide 7 grains, gold chloride 1 grain, phosphate 5 grains, borax 7 grains in each fld. oz. Apply with sort camel hair mop to dry print, tones in two minutes. Platinum Toning (for matt prints) (a). Potassium Chloroplatinite 3 grains Sodium Chloride 50 grains Citric Acid 50 grains Water 20 fld. ozs. (b). Potassium Chloroplatinite 2 grains (c). Potassium Chloroplatinite 2 grains Immerse dry prints in a ten percent salt bath
for five minutes, wash and To Arrest Platinum Toning:- Sodium Carbonate (cryst.) 10 grains, Water 1 fld. oz. Develope, needing no toning (matt prints) Pyro 3 grains gives Reddish Sepia or with 10 minims Bichromate:- Brown. The above will do for a start, if you want
any more , please ask, PS Those who disagree with any of the above
formulae should take it up
