Do an APUG search on your question and you'll find more information about making FO. There is at least 1 or 2 longs threads about this topic.

I think you will end up spending a whole lot more money learning how to make FO than if you purchase it. My advice is to buy it to make prints with and once you know how to do that then you might want to consider making your own. Ferric Oxalate is not a well defined compound and is difficult to make a highly pure form, though supposedly few palladium printers do.

To illustrate the difficulty read this thread:

(there was a url link here which no longer exists)

Post your question on the ALT Photography list and you will probably get more info about making your own.

I have just started with Salt printing. I t has been fun so far.. Brown dots where???? Learning to coat is the fun part. I made a pusher for my coating. And it works quite well. You could try this method as well. Good luck and have fun

I would suggest starting new threads since this one has drifted off track.

Just my 2 cents.

Just about any that involve spreading chemicals on watercolor paper -- cyanotype, van Dyke, platinum/palladium, perhaps salt prints.
