Speedballs Diazo Photo Emulsion is a 2-step process where the photo emulsion needs to be "activated". To activate the emulsion, sensitizer must be added. Sensitizer is a very thick oil and needs water to create the right consistency for adding it to the photo emulsion. 

Includes:

  • Photo Emulsion (6.6 oz)
  • Photo Emulsion Sensitizer (1.07g)
  • Photo Emulsion Remover (8oz)

How to Mix:

  1. Fill the sensitizer bottle approximately 1/2 full with water (tap or distilled)
  2. Recap the sensitizer and shake vigorously! A craft stick can be used to scrape at the bottom to ensure all the material is stirred and dissolved. (We can't stress this step enough! Shake and mix the sensitizer with a craft stick as much as you can)
  3. Open your bottle of photo emulsion - it will be bright blue
  4. Carefully pour your thoroughly mixed bottle of sensitizer into the bottle of photo emulsion
  5. Stir well with a stir stick until all of the sensitizer is thoroughly mixed into the photo emulsion and it turns from bright blue to grassy green.

*Once mixed, store any unused emulsion in a cool, dark place. The pot life - once refrigerated - is approximately 4 months.
