Sunprint paper in a pinhole camera?
I bought some sunprint paper at a toy store today and I want to use it in a pinhole camera I made.
Sunprint paper is pretty much the same thing as a cyanotype, which this site says can't be used in pinhole cameras.
I've only seen evidence of sunprint paper in one place, and that was in a camera with a normal lens.
This person said they left it out for a few hours.
The only other mention I found of using sunprint paper in a pinhole camera had said one day.
Anyone think otherwise?
Thanks in advance,

Make a test strip :-
Place your camera facing an evenly lit scene and then slide a piece of plain dark paper over it bit by bit, say one movement per hour so you get a picture showing 1Hr, 2Hr, 3Hr . . . etc.
Develop it and see where you're getting a good image and then maybe do another strip to bracket that time for best exposure.

That idea did cross my mind, I think that's what I'll do. Thanks!
