An alternative to gelatin.

Hmm, fresh film stinks like some benign organic solvents, and the roll films smell like the glue on the tape that you seal a used roll with. Kodak Park used to smell like that.

Lots of gelatin can smell as well, particularly mixed up and going bad. I have not really enjoyed Jello since I went to work for Kodak.

I was gifted the remains of a biochem reseach division stores of a company's chem stocks after a bankruptcy. In it there was a stock of fish gelaton. I was never able to get a good sizing when using it with my cyanotyoe efforts. So down the toilet (for real) it went.

Yea, Mike, we couldn't get it to work very well either!

Hi All,
Sorry that I have not participated lately. Here are 2 examples of emulsions containing no gelatin. At risk of sounding like a broken record B&S has a supply of Kuraray R1130, which is what I currently use in place of gelatin.
Cheers Bill
P.S. Sorry if I have posted these befor.
