Dilute Viradon sepia toner was applied with the point of a toothpick to get a neat effect without going over the edges of the figure.

Amazing control, Maris. Whenever I try anything like that I invariably get unacceptable overflows that ruin the print.

Thank Barry Kirsten. A useful trick for selective toning is to mix the toner with sugar to form a controllable syrup. Once the area to be toned is covered a quick wash-off is with a strong jet of water ensures the edges don't bleed.
Working close to the print with magnifying glasses is unpleasant with a sulfide (rotten egg smell) based toner. A breezy verandah is a good place to do the job.

Good tips. Thanks Maris.
