dark slide material
I have a few ULF holders in various sizes that need new darkslides. I'd
like to try making them myself and I'm wondering if anyone has actually made them out of garolite (sp?) or maybe sheet aluminum? Might other materials be appropriate? TIA for any info. Joe (Change the vOwEl in my email address to reply directly.) |

Joe (Change the vOwEl in my email address to reply directly.) Dark slides have been made of several materials. At one time hard rubber (Ebonite) was used. Metal slides have also been used and are quite satisfactory. Aluminum or brass should do. Darkslides for Riteway and Kodak holders are coded for IR opaqueness. Older, non-opaque slides are coded with three bumps on the silver side, IR opaque slides have five bumps. -- --- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles, CA, USA |

Thanks for that info; I've long wondered about those bumps, and what meaning they might have. (The slides I looked have five bumps, so I'll sleep easier at night.) -- I was quickly apprised that an "RSS feed" was not, as I had naively imagined, some new and unspeakable form of sexual debauchery practised by young persons of dubious morality, but a way of providing news articles to the cybernetic publishing moguls of the World Wide Wait so they can fill the airwaves with even more useless drivel. - Cynical shop talk from comp.publish.prepress |

Richard, Thank you for dropping that pearl of information...I had always heard that there were IR-opaque slides, now I know how to identify them! Thank you! Doug Allen |
