Recently having a clear-out I found my old Polaroid 180 - still with a film in it!
Much to my surprise it produced a picture when tested.
This got me thinking - I have a fridge with quite a few Polaroid and Fuji peel-apart films languishing for the past 20 years.
I've never tried transfers (not emulsion lifts) but maybe I could use some of these films to try that?
So I tried following the instructions in Kathleen Carr's book 'Polaroid Transfers;'.
All I got was a dark green square - several variations.
I can see an image on the negative in a glancing light but no positive transfer.
Is the film 'wrong' (it's colour - I know Mono won't work)
The attached images are from testing the film for viability - not transfers.
ANY comments really appreciated!
