![]() I coat my paper and receiving surface with either Mod Podge or matte gel medium, that will hold it in place once it dries. ![]() How are you guys making the emulsion stick to glass? Or other non-paper substrates like wood, tile, stone? Once my lift dries it falls off. The point is how do I fix it? And avoid it happening again? Well, obviously I can remove it from the newspaper. I'd try to put it back in warm water and let the newspaper seperate from the positive. Has anyone had this happen? Can it be fixed? It's almost like the emulsion shrinks as it dries and lifts of the paper. I've been having some problems lifting fuji fp-100c to thinner paper. One of the great things about photography is that you can be a total copycat and it still comes out completely different ) I still have a few packs of 669 bought early. Though I got all mine early and paid far less. ^still being had for $1-3 a shot from late 1990s to the most recently expired 2009 stuff. ![]() I've been studying your technique for lifts with Impossible film. Yes, now I can see them!! The jar is really cool :) they are both public now and fixed the links, I hope. You can see the above images, though, And you're right, that container was once a candle. ( I re-uploaded them and marked them private. It seems I don't have permission to see your shots :) I like those little cardboard/paper boxes found at craft stores.Īnd on a glass jar (think it was from Orville popcorn before it went plastic). I think it was from a maple syrup bottle but I do think glass from a frame would be great. I would, however, recommend using a UV protective coating, as UV rays will greatly degrade the image. With emulsion lifts, you have an almost unlimited number of options when it comes to receptor surfaces.even if its ph isn't neutral. Where do you get the glass? Do you just scavenge old picture frames? I love the way they look on glass, but I haven't tried it yet. I buy it by the sheet at a local shop and the sign doesn't say - guess I should ask sometime? It might come in handy some day to actually know what I'm doing :) It's Canson, but I don't actually know if it's Arches or Canson 100. It's fun and once the lift is separated, you've got the hard part done. It just depends upon the look and purpose. I've put lifts on glass, wood and paper boxes along with many different papers. I use it for liquid emulsion darkroom prints. Comes in different finishes including a lovely 'rough' texture. I think it is acid free, it is 100% cotton and gelatin sized - so adhesion and permanence should be pretty high. Maybe try some Arches Aquarelle watercolour paper? (like eggzakly's first image). been seeing more and more about emulsion lifts and this is inspiring me. ^ well, they probably won't be "archival" quality as the paper isn't acid free, but the aging in itself might be interesting? I'll definitely be experimenting more (and scanning first ) i would think watercolor paper would be ideal but maybe I am incorrect. I would worry about newspaper aging rather quickly, and that the chemicals in other papers would affect the photo. You can also try newspaper to complement the photo.
