Cleaning slides
I have a bottle of Kodak film cleaner , is a cotton T shirt material, Q
tips, soft enough. I have micro cloth but it is colored. I can see a problem getting into the corners and know the wrong cloth can scratch film-slides, or is micro fiber cloth the only way to go. |

I can see a problem getting into the corners and know the wrong cloth can scratch film-slides, or is micro fiber cloth the only way to go. Ay carumba - Q-Tips are very abrasive. Don't use them. Cloth will accumulate abrasive dust and material as it is transferred from the slide to the cloth. I would use a new piece of sterile gauze for each slide. Start by scanning (if possible, with a digital ICE enabled scanner) to get the best possible image. There are too many variables, including the possibility that the emulsion has degraded and become soluble. Once you have the slide scanned, then experiment with cleaning it. -- Mike Russell www.curvemeister.com/forum/ |
