Served hot in the darkroom of a gingerbread house?

And then we must not forget chocolate. No, not as durable as plastic, not recommended for summer outdoors, but very tasty if you get a sugar cravings on the way home.

Carbon printers know you can make anything with gelatin! Make a mold for your lensboard, pour in some pigmented gelatin and it will work great until summer!

Would it help to sensitive the board with potassium dichromate and expose it to UV?

I think it would. Actually I think hardened gelatin was used as a really early form of plastic. In fact they used gelatin sequins on a lot of fancy dresses back in the early 20th century. They are quite beautiful, the disadvantage is of course if you spend too much time dancing in them well they tend to melt..

I concur: Nejc at Zebra Dry Plates makes quality materials.

Indeed, I have also beautiful quality stuff from Nejc.

Hmm. I have just been eating some gingerbread left over from the holidays. That might make a decent lens board, especially if you get stuck in the snow like the Donner Party.

Well, considering that ginger bread is an approved building material used in home construction, it should make a fine lens board. ��
