TinType Wet plate supplies

When I learned about the tintype wet plate photography process I got hooked. I watched every YouTube video I could find.

Finding all the tools and chemicals was the hardest part of the process. Lots of things to purchase and I didn’t know where to start. I decided to make this list of supplies and cost. I hope this will help another photographer some day.
