Looks like I'll be doing the whole thing myself start to finish which is cool. |
Which book are you planning to buy? There's some good literature on the topic, but the books you usually hear about (like Angier) are rather old, and due to the antiquated nomenclature and the intended audience they are very complicated to follow for a beginner. It never hurts to read up, but I'd say that this thread covers the subject in a more comprehensive format than any book I have ever read:

You're obviously not shooting for a show winner, so if you skip the part about mixing your own formula you'll find that the procedure is rather simple.
