Re: [Frameworks] nail polish bleaching film
As a quick update for others who may be interested- I've been messaged that melted wax works. I've also just ordered some non-toxic, 5-free, organic nail polish that I'll be testing in a few days with the bleach, to see if it keeps the film emulsion. If folks are interested in how this goes, what non-toxic brands work best, etc, please feel free to msg me! Cheers and happy handmade filmmaking!

Re: [Frameworks] nail polish bleaching film
Hi Kelly, I like to use glycerin with cotton q-tips and wipe it onto the areas where I want the emulsion left untouched by the bleach. Do tests first to figure out thickness. You can also use Vaseline but it's a little thicker and can be a little harder to wash from the film afterwards. You can by the glycerin at the pharmacy. I have also used masking tape but prefer the oil bass materials. Hope this helps!
