Hi,
I would love to hear what folks use to clean badly handled film. I will be involved in the cleaning of a variety of film sizes up to 14x17 inches. I will share my experiences (lessons learned) here.
We have done our professional due diligence of course but I have found that a good forum can produce some profound information that is outside the mainstream publications.
We'll be starting with manual processes and move to the use of a automated machine of some kind eventually (within a few months). We'll be doing basic air & brush cleaning but would love to hear what everyone has used in the way of chemicals and what procedures were employed.
I'm familiar with the standards: PEC, 3m 8200 but would like to expand my knowledge base a bit. For the advanced damage (worked into the base) I'll employ experts but general cleaning such as fingerprints, peanut butter from someone's lunch, :-) etc, (who knows what), I'd love to hear what you have to say. These will be x-ray films, newer ones that are similar to conventional photographic film.
Thanks in advance and I look forward to participating in this
