Hello Polafans,
I have been working with the most diverse polamaterials for a long time and buy old, expired films.
Unfortunately, one can not trust the data of the seller to the "correct" storage of the films.
So I have now already got several times both completely dry, but also to dampened and thus unusable films.
Currently I had ordered a single package Polaroid 559 from the fundus of a salesman, which brought quite akzeptabel pictures.
When I re-ordered further packages with this positive experience, I had to make the most painful experience,
that the sheets can no longer be properly pulled out of the cassette and tear off the grip strip and thus the sheet remains in the cassette.
I always clean my cassettes carefully after each use, the rollers rotate freely.
Did you make similar experiences and do you know a solution how I can reactivate the "system" of the leaf extract,
in order not to have to throw away the complete film? In complete darkness or in a change- bag, it will be difficult for me to orientate myself.
Thank you!
