5. Cut a piece of photosensitive film slightly larger than the piece of metal. Spray the surface of the metal with water. Remove the piece of protective plastic from the matte side of the film and lay this side on the moistened piece of metal.

7. Allow the prepared metal to dry thoroughly. Dry overnight upside down, so it's not exposed to light or dry with a hairdryer for several minutes.
