I would suggest about a 6% sensitizer for this negative, assuming
tray sensitizing with potassium dichromate. If spirit sensitizing try
4% ammonium dichromate 1:2 with acetone. Exposure times will vary
some according to gelatin type, percentage, pigment, etc. but with
this negative and light source the exposure should be on the short
side, 5 minutes or less I would imagine.
