Can I use xrays as stiffener for totes?

I use vinyl flooring scraps, can cut easily with a used rotary blade that no longer will cut fabric. I put it inside between the lining and outer fabric (I use a few dabs of E6000 on the corners and center, drop thick books inside purse overnight), then pull up lining and hand or machine stitch opening closed. Others I will have it removeable by covering with a sleeve. Get scraps from flooring places or I have found in thrift shops also. The thicker kind works best. If washing with vinyl inside, I recommend hand wash & air dry. If removable, can machine wash the purse & hand wash the sleeve. Cheap & sturdy!

Most of the x-rays around here are recorded on disc. When you go to a dr who needs to see your x-rays you are given a disc. I am sure some places are still using it, but I haven't seen a film in ages, I used to use it for templates.

I used to work for a doctor --- I used to develop x-rays (in the old days)....the chemicals we used would be on the film. I wouldn't use it for anything.. Plastic canvas is cheap, easy to cut and is totally washable!
