[pure-silver] Re: Ever Ferrotype?

Actually, I find this a rather interesting question (or 7).

Personally I stopped many years ago, and the main reason was that I
found it impossible to get an even result. Plus I found I liked the
non-ferrotyped surface better. Plus I put some RC paper in the dryer
and destroyed the glossy metal sheet. :-(

So, I could really only answer question #3.
