Making hasselblad tintypes with a polaroid back

Want to use your beloved hasselblad camera to make tintypes?  Well, all you need is a polaroid back, a few pieces of plastic, and some gorilla glue to make your own modification.  I made this original mod to my hasselblad back about 3 1/2 years ago.  While the gorilla glue may not be pretty in form, it is holds tight in function and has held up to years of hasselblad tintype creation.  Please add your questions and successes to the bottom of this post!

Tintypes below were made using a Hasselblad 500cm camera coupled with the modified polaroid back to the right. 

step one: purchase a polaroid back for your hasselblad

step two: glue in two pieces of plastic stripping to 'hold' your plate

step three: insert your coated plate face down into your polaroid back, add a wad of paper towel to the back of the plate and close.  The paper towel will hold your plate flush to the inside of the case, so when you open your dark slide, you are ready to shoot!
