So i read the thread on fixing pinholes etc.
But I'm curious to know how one would fix corners specifically. My "new" kodak master view looks like someone scraped something along the corners of the bellows. At least 3 in a row have been sheared off, with the largest hole being about half a mm. Now that is hole in the black, lower fabric, the hole in the upper is a bit bigger.
(Interestingly the calumet bellows are folded so there are no sharp edges.)
One person mentioned cutting the damaged corners off and attaching homemade ones - that idea scares me witless.
But i don't quite "see" the sealant alone working in a place that changes shape as dramatically as the corner.
I am thinking bookbinder's tape (since i have a bunch) on the outside and sealant on the inside.
Won't look so snazzy, but i am planning on using this one as my "carry" camera and leave the calumet (that has sentimental value) for studio work.
This way i won't cry if i drop or damage it, but can still use the same lenses and lens boards. Heavy and bulky, but no added cost.
