3. Place a small strip <strong>of</strong> the cut edge into solution A for 5-<br />
10mins; observe whether the emulsion layer <strong>of</strong> the sample<br />
strip comes <strong>of</strong>f automatically. We can then formally begin<br />
the transplantation operation.<br />
4. Put the negative to be restored into solution A.<br />
Constantly shake the enamel pan. When the emulsion<br />
layer comes <strong>of</strong>f automatically from the support, firstly take<br />
out the support and subbed layer, letting the image layer<br />
remain in the solution for about 10min for the plastic to<br />
dissolve.<br />
5. Take the emulsion layer out <strong>of</strong> solution A and put it<br />
into solution B for 5min. The gelatin layer spreads rapidly<br />
and the wrinkles <strong>of</strong> the image layer are smoothed out, the<br />
bubbles disappear, and the residual plastic continues to<br />
dissolve.<br />
6. Hold up the emulsion layer from solution B with an<br />
accepting support which is bottom-upward, smooth out<br />
the layer with a Chinese writing brush, get rid <strong>of</strong> the<br />
bubbles, dry the newly-restored negative in the open air.<br />
7. If traces <strong>of</strong> stripes appear on the dried negative, it can be<br />
placed into fresh water to wet it, then copy a reversal<br />
negative film. All traces <strong>of</strong> stripes can be cleared up this<br />
way.<br />
