waxed negs and heat gun
Hi All:
I decided to try making some waxed paper negatives. I assumed my wife
would not be happy if I used her "very expensive" sewing iron. I needed a
different way of heating the paper.
I used a heat gun on a low setting, placed the paper negative (made with a
laser printer) on a piece of glass. Heated the paper with the heat gun
and rubbed the wax onto the paper. The wax melted and soaked into the
paper very nicely.
I don't know if anyone else has used this method. It seems to work very
well.
