Hi-

I have been recently playing with lots of liquid emulsion (exposing to
wood, metal, glass, etc) and my next interest is shooting onto flat
glass (quartz, to be precise) and then actually blowing it into a
shape (like a vase, etc).

I was wondering if emulsion xfer onto glass can stand up to 2200f.

I know this seems sort of odd..But i've had much crazier questions
answered before.

Emulsion melts at approximately the temp of boiling water. It won't
stand the glass blowing. Maybe you should look into etching the glass
with a photo resist instead.

No way in hell.

The gelatin will burn to ash below 1000 F, and then any developed silver
will be scattered with the ash.

Ok so basically you have to blow first, then expose.

Ok thanks
