You can buy this kit at Michaels, it cost $30, but if you use the 40% sometimes 50% off coupon you can really save some money!!!! I use Speedball, I have always used it just because it is what was available when I started this, so I have just continued to use it. I’m sure there are others out there that probably work better, but I have no idea! This kit comes with 2 large bottles, and a smaller lighter bottle. You have to fill the smaller bottle halfway with water and shake it up really well. The contents of this bottle is a dark black liquid and YES it will stain your hands, clothes, and countertops so be careful when mixing. If you do spill it, quickly wipe it away and wash your hands. If get some on your hands (which you are bound to do sometime) the stain will only last a few days.
Now, once you have mixed the little bottle and the water you are going to add the dark black liquid to the photo emulsion larger bottle. This bottle will be partly filled with a light blue liquid. This bottle will NEVER be filled to the top because you are adding more liquid to it and need the space to mix so do not feel like you were cheated out of anything, this bottle will always be like that. Once you add the dark liquid you can simply place the top back on and shake away or you can stir it up with a stick of some sort. Once you have done this the contents of the bottle will then become a bright green color. Be careful when you are using the emulsion and be sure to wipe off any drippings that may fall on the rim of the bottle because it will harden and once you have placed the top back on it will be hard to get it back off.
