I could load the film holder and pull out the slide while still in the sock.
The other way was to force liquid wood into all of the little gaps which leaked. I used the same light proof material for the sock on replacement material for the slides, the slats that bend, allowing the slide to bend over the holder.
It was well worth the effort, really good little lightweight camera, albeit not a lot of movements. I will be selling mine soon.
