Go to the daylab.com website: they have a few pages on the process. There is also an online manual on it but it may take some searching to find it. Several books are available (amazon.com)

Enjoy - it's a beautiful process.

Given the dissolution of Polaroid and the problem that their film won't reliably keep more than a couple of years before the chemicals start to dry out, you probably ought to be looking for information on lifting Fuji instant films, or the new films from the Impossible Project. Technique for Fuji films is quite different from Polaroid technique, according to my local emulsion lift artist acquaintance.
