For mixing the toner: very hot distilled water with a magnetic stirrer. Add the alum very slowly are it will clump and is very hard to get back into the solution. For toning: we use a warmer tray made for keeping food warm at parties, place a large stainless steel tray full of water on top then a tray with the toner in it maintaining the temperature at 120. regards, ann -------------- Original message -------------- > Fyodor., Richard, Ann > > Thanks. > > Fyodor., > > I like the idea of the backing tray.
