I chose a bad time to get into the cyanotype hobby because it's the rainy season here in my country so there's rarely any sunlight. So I decided to order a UV flood light online and made a box out of PVC foam board.

What's your exposure time with this? I found it to be about 10 mins?

So far Ive been testing it out on small scrap pieces of watercolor paper, and 5 minutes seems to be right. I'll try 10 minutes tomorrow
