Re: stripped negatives

Hello

The fact is that you can peel RC papers to get thinner "negtives".
I immerse the print in hot water at about 45 ° C and leave it in for about 3
or 4 minutes (it's a necesssary time for heat to go "into" the paper. After
that, hold your print to the bottom of the tray which must be smooth and,
underwater, try to "pull" your index (finger) from the corner while grabbing
the corner. The backing will separate slowly and you have to very slowly
pull the 2 layers apart. If at the end of operations you still find paper
sticking to the negative, then, rub gently but firmly and it will remove
the small parts of paper ! All this is not difficult at all and can be
learnt easily...
Best wishes from France and let's go pinholing ... Jean
