What are the do's and don'ts for clearning a glass negative carrier?
What clearers and matteral do the best job and the least amount of harm?

Alan,

I use ROR diluted 1:3 with distilled water. I dilute it for
conservation. I would imagine you could use almost any glass cleaner in the
same fashion. When I bought my last bottle of ROR, I drew 1 oz (give or
take) and put it into another 4 oz spray bottle and filled with distilled
water.

When I clean my carrier, I spray the cleaner in the air and wave the
carrier through the mist. This deposits a smaller amount than direct
spraying ever can and also prevents it from getting under the edge of the
glass. If you try to spray a small amount from most of those pump type
sprayers, you end up with drops of cleaner and not a mist.

I wipe with a piece of standard paper towel (I use Bounty brand). I have
to go after the dust any way, so it really doesn't matter (IMHO) if I add
dust while wiping.

Hope this helps.

Jim
