On the brink

Q.G. said:

I doubt i will ever make a good, or even mediocre, emulsion maker. Have to do a lot of brushing up on chemistry too. And i really mean a lot.
But it's all fascinating stuff, this!

Give it a go! Worst case is you take a workshop. I've been having a lot of fun with it

You can be a great emulsion maker without knowing chemistry, as long as you follow a tried and true recipe!

I will. I think.
Thanks for the encouragement (you too, Alex)!

What i would really like a lot though, is to understand the thing that makes a "true" recipe a "true" recipe. The Knowledge. To be able to go "well yes, of course" when reading the many things you talk about in film/emulsion making threads.
An unattainable goal. But it should be great fun trying to get there. And for that, i'm sure your book will be invaluable. (So hurry up! )
And i'm sure that in the process of soaking up the knowledge, i will give it a go.
