    What do you use to bleach your cyanotypes?

    @leisuresuit I use washing soda, 1 teaspoon for about 1 litre water. I don't bleach out the blue completely because the green tea seems to darken the remaining blue to a nice tone. Sometimes it work better than others. I reckon the whole thing is unpredictable which is half the fun!
