a new idear ,how to transfer pattern to accidented surface

http://www.niepce.com/pagus/invus3.html

here is some video about how to transfer the patern to a piece of metal,

The photosensitive agent is Judea bitumen .
It is a sort of natural tar known from ancient time. People in antiquity used to collect it from the Dead Sea surface ( in greek Asphaltite lake ) where it keeps surfacing continually from the bottom of the sea. It was used by the Egyptians to embalm mummies, to caulk ships or even to make terrace works in Babylon. In the 19th century, people already knew how to extract that tar from bituminous rocks and as a matter of fact the bitumen used by Ni?pce did not come from Judea.


in this way ,the pattern can be transfer to any accidented surface

I think this is very useful enjoy it.


ps. This should owe to Montejano ,while I was seeking and seeking what on earth the "JUDEA POLISH"is in the GOOGLE,by chance ,I find this website.
