I'm having a hell of a time with light leaks from older 8X10 wooden film holders. I've tried traceing them down with a high intensity led light in the dark, found some, used B&S bellows patch liquid and recoated the hinge tape. Took the dark slide covers off, shimmed up the metal strip, cleaned them up, put them togather, re-shot some film and still got leaks. some still from the slots, some from the sides, basicaly all over the place. I've been replacing them with more modern holders as I can afford to, but would still like to solve this if possible before having a bonfire out of shear frustration. Any brilliant ideas would be appreciated, if not send yours to me and I'll add them to the fire and offer them up to the film gods.
