So I picked up the Rockland Tintype Kit to try my hand at the "old fashioned" way of making photographs.

The first thing I discovered was the plates are too wide for my film holders. After a quick trim that issue was solved, and I slipped a plate into a film holder for a test fit. The next thing I discovered was that the metal plates are stiff enough that it is next to impossible to side them back out without a tweezers or something.

And the tweezers bends the metal a bit.

Has anyone else ran into this problem?

If so, what do you do to get the plates out after exposing them?
