Tip:
Erm, forgive me if I'm wrong but credits to goodmanlosa for sharing how to achieve magenta. (pls let me know if I'm wrong)
I found out that when using the 3 part alchohol (ethanol) and 1 part lemon (fresh) solution to achieve the magenta colour it also produced a thicker layer that could be pulled apart.
Using a knife I started from the edges and used thongs to pull the top layer off exposing the bottom layer which produces blue (bottom layer remains white).
After removing the top layer carefully with some water to keep it moist, I transfered it onto some watercolour paper. You have to push it inwards a bit as the sides tend to curl up. After the transfer was complete and the paper dried (a little, couldnt wait), I used a solder iron to etch on the words "ZINK TRANSFER". After the transfer the heated contact point needs to literally touch the paper for it to produce the strong red. As the blue was on the bottom layer this is probably the only zink without blue at all! haha...
**Will try this again but will draw on it before transfer to get some blue in there!
**Also, if your familiar with emulsion lifts this upper layer is a LOT tougher and can really be pushed around without breaking...
**When I pulled it apart the blue layer tried to follow...I pulled it off but I think that means its possible to transfer it with the blue layer attached...
