Bostick & Sullivan revolutionized and democratized the wetplate process in 2010, when we introduced the first complete tintype and ambrotype kit with pre-dissolved collodion chemistry! All of the chemistry you need to start making Wet Plate Collodion images is included in one easy to mix kit, with all of the major components pre-dissolved and ready to use.
