Can homemade redscale 35mm film be developed as normal C-41 at a lab?

I usually send C-41 film to a high street lab for processing. If I’ve made a redscale roll by reversing a 35mm colour negative film, can I send it in for normal development, or does it need any special handling?

If by 'homemade' you mean you have turned the film over so the emulsion is on the 'wrong' side, then yes, I'm sure you can. You might want to turn it back over so it is the right way round before sending it off.

Yes. If your homemade redscale roll is just standard 35mm colour negative film that has been reversed so light passes through the base first, it can still be processed as normal C-41. The redscale effect comes from how the film was loaded/exposed, not from requiring a different chemistry.
One practical point: if possible, rewind or orient the film so it is the correct way round for handling before sending it to the lab. But the processing itself is still standard C-41.
