Wet Plate Collodion guru Will Dunniway discusses "Pouring a Plate" and explains the methods of holding the plate before "floating" the collodion. He explains the "Waiter" technique, the "Lobster" method and the "Cantilever" style as he shows students this alternative process

Tintypes were used early in the history of photography; their use was discontinued in the 1870s after the development of glass plates because of the ability to replicate images.
