Ruskin House Cyanotype (first ever attempts)

This is my second ever attempt at a cyanotype. The first was also today but I overexposed it so much it was all blue. I had made 2 pieces of paper so I tried again immediately using 1/4 the exposure (15 minutes in full sun). Even so, I think still overexposed. 12"x14" paper

X-ray film? I didn't know that. I just did a search on the internet and I can't find a UK supplier of that as yet.
 
Thank you. I looked at ZZMedical and it does look cheap but they will not ship to the UK and even they did there is VAT and import duty to pay on top of International shipping. It is a lot to pay for a play at making a cyanotype. I may never make another. Ilford Ortho is £130 for 25 sheets which is why I didn't use sheet film.
