do you have a 300w flood ( like for making azo / lodima prints ) ?
use regular photo paper ( i use cheap outdated faux ilford rc rebranded by photowarehouse )
and contact print dense film like that ... soup in whatever you have handy
it might be a 20 + second exposure but it will print fine ... and you can pnumericalize after that
that is ... if your magic light beam is too weak to penetrate your dense film

Thanks guys, I'm going to get the soda ash and try that first.

I do have a 300watt incandescent if needed.

Normal baking soda also works for removing rem-jet. Borax should work too. Something around 1-5% solution is OK. At least for ECN-2 films. Kodachrome's remjet is probably near enough. Just let the film sit for a minute in the solution and then mechanically remove the remjet backing (for example, running through your fingers) in a water bath. To remove remaining particles, you may want to repeat once more with new clean solutions.

Developers also soften the remjet like the prebath solution does, but nevertheless, you will need some mechanical action to remove it.
