Preparing Paper for Polaroid Transfer

Okay, so now that I have my image, my film, and my machine, and my exposure kind of picked out, the next step that I'm going to do is take my watercolor paper; a hundred and thirty, a hundred and forty pound arches, okay, fairly heavy, and I'm going to get it wet, okay? It's important that I get my paper completely wet, and the other important thing is that the temperature of my water is between ninety and a hundred degrees. I find that this works the best. Now, you can go all over the Internet, and find all kinds of people with their ideas. Some of them may be right, and some of them may be wrong. What I also do is take a little tiny bit of photoFlow, and I put it in my water, and that tends to help me out a lot. Some people put all kinds of stuff in here. A lot of a lot of this has to do with the quality of your paper. Different batches of paper print up totally different for me sometimes. So now that I have my paper wet, I'm going to make another exposure, and we're really going to start making Polaroid transfer.
