Thanks for sharing your process. Of all the photo chemicals that you are dealing with, acidic stop bath is the least hazardous. It is simply acetic acid -- which is essentially vinegar -- diluted to a large degree (some stop baths have a color indicator to tell you when it's exhausted). So no need to be afraid of the stop bath. later in the video you stuck your hands in the developer -- this is way more dangerous than anything else you can do! Stay safe with the gloves. Most developers are full of nasty stuff that shouldn't be touched. Nice photo! Wish you included the digital reversal. Looks like it had some nice gradation and detail.
Very good video. Very interesting. Thank you. RS Canada
thank you, do you shoot dry plates yourself?

Thanks Dave, good point re the developer! Cheers :)
