Uses less bleach &#8211; maybe less odor?<\/li>\n<li>Lay negative emulsion side down onto a puddle of water on clean glass and use a roller to flatten the negative down and hold via surface tension. This is a lot like the first one, but just one negative at a time and maybe less risky but you&#8217;d need the roller.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to go with the tape method first!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Video Dec 19, 7 15 34 PM\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rWA89dUx-1k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How To bleach FUJI FP100c NEGATIVE\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/It-Vmu1misY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Luckily I&#8217;d heard that this was possible from another Eric at the Photocenter in San Francisco and kept a lot of my old negative backings from my shots.\u00a0 I&#8217;m going to have to try this.\u00a0 I had been mostly scanning the prints to have digital files, but now I&#8217;m curious to see if there is more detail in the negatives &#8211; sounds like there could be.
