Van Dyke isn't a process I have tried: my cyanotype coated paper can be kept for a bit but it has the useful feature of discolouring after a while!

You have to wait a short while for the coating to dry, or you can use a hairdryer set on low, but it dries pretty quickly. Otherwise your neg would stick to the coating - best to avoid!

The Chris James book is a very good book to have but quite expensive these days even used.
