Hi Resin People,

My project might be far fetched, if you google 'polaroid emulsion lift' you'll see the polaroid image can be removed from the plastic casing and transferred to things, like paper, etc. I wanted to cast the gel-like, delicate polaroid image in a block of clear resin. Seems i'll need to mix, pour, let it sit, add the polaroid and then mix and pour a second layer of resin.

My problem is water-based, obviously water and resin don't mix and my research has told me it won't look good. The polaroid emulsion lift is usually done in a tray of water. No idea if this is the right foum to ask - I'll ask Polaroid People as well to see what they think - but if I was to use another substance to do the lift would this react and cause problems with the resin or would it come out okay?

Basically, are there substances other than water that will react and cause problems with casting resin?

Thanks so much for your knowledge...!
