What is a good Grain alcohol only collodion formula? I am trying to avoid ether. Will likely use a FeSO4 developer, and will use rapid fix for fixer. I realize collodion may already have a little ether in it but wish to avoid any additional ether. I can get 95% grain alcohol nearby.

You can use denatured alcohol for the whole thing. I have used denatured in place of ether and the grain alcohol for the part A. I found that the collodion will gell up in a couple of months but this is not the case with collodion containing ether. I have not made any collodion with all denatured alcohol yet.
