Ian, Is this the intregal film, for the one-step cameras? You will know if the film pack has two foil dots on the metal base (battery contacts)
If so the easiest method is to build your camera around the entire cartridge - not just shooting one sheet at a time. You will need a polaroid 600 or sx-70 to develop the film. In a black room or changing bag load the camera with the cartridge and then expose your film. After exposure, in a darkroom or changing bag - remove the cartridge and place it in the polaroid camera. When you close the film door the camera will immediately eject the film, using the integrated rollers to develop the polaroid. Likewise, to get to the first frame of the film, you have to put the cartridge in the camera to remove the protective paper or darkslide. Once you remove this from the camera, you have to store the film in the camera or a light tight box. If your camera is an SX-70, it's a bit more painful to use the film. When inserting the film cartridge into the camera, you have to hold an index card or something similar under the cartridge as you insert it into the camera (it bypasses a lock-out so you do not shoot the wrong film - no big deal if you use the camera only for processing) then remove the card and close the film door. Some people have ripped out the lens of their polaroid 600's and replaced it with a pinhole, but whenever I have attempted this the face of the camera just shatters and I have to run for the band-aids. So, best of luck to you.
