Not everyone has access to x rays, but the $1 place mats sound great.

The plastic placements sound like an excellent idea for a stiffiner.

I used x-ray plastic once and it was a bit noisy...yes it made a noise like a crinkle when ever I moved, now I use plastic canvas that I pick up for a quarter each at the thrift shop...just as stiff, no noise. I still use the x-ray plastic for making templates and pattern pieces.

I would not do it and I have more xray film in storage than most of you will ever see in a lifetime.

Exposed or processed film must be recycled due to the silver and chemical content. This is regulated by the government...state EPA usually. It will melt and will let off toxic fumes...that's why the government regulates the darkrooms.

Dont cut corners like this.

Where would you get them ?

There seem to be so many good alternatives to x-ray film that it seems like it would be a waste of time and effort to clean them enough to be used--I tried foam board but it cracked too easily so I went with the plastic canvas. Much better.

Do you mean for the bottom of the tote bag, to help it hold the shape? I just made 9 bags for Christmas gifts. I have used foam core in the past. Is there a better idea?

I saved the long panels from an old set of vertical window blinds to use in the bottom of my tote bags. I just make a matching sleeve and no one knows what they are.

Our hospitals have gone filmless years ago. How long are you storing this x-ray film? I am really confused as to why someone would want to use this when there are so many other products to use.
