Response to what is best liquid emulsion to use on a mirror?

from Thomas Wollstein (wollstein@compuserve.com)
From my knowledge (which is purely theoretical w/ respect to liquid emulsions so far) a mirror should make a fine carrier for any of the emulsions on the market, be it Liquid Light or Tetenal's Work emulsion. In the instructions for the latter, I read that pre-coating with gelatin may be a good idea where surfaces like glass are to be coated (and you must, of course, ensure that the surface to be coated is absolutely clean and free of grease).

I diffusely recall having also read in one catalogue about a liquid emulsion that works the other way around: The image produced is mirror-like. If you are interested in that, I'll try to find the source.
