Marek, how do you keep from getting a pebbly texture in the gum? Am I
just not using a light enough touch, or what?

I think this may be a good test of the idea, and I hope you'll report
your results. I'll try it too when I get back. But one thing that
gives me pause about exposing an image on glass from the back, is
that you're going to have the thickness of the glass between the
negative and the emulsion. It might be an interesting effect, but
won't be the same as having the negative in contact with the emulsion.
