Kodak used to distribute a pamphlet on making your own emulsion, which you
could then coat on glass. Perhaps you could start out with "liquid Light."
But then agail, you might be able to use different holders with regular
sheet film. I know a friend of mine who used Graflex "bag magazines" with
inserts that allowed him to load them with (what else?) XX-Pan sheets.
