While loading film into various film holders on a particulary hot day using a changing bag.
And trying to rush as the temperture inside the bag was good enough to fry eggs!
I loaded one of the sheets back to front-I always check before I close the flap and insert the DS .. So when I realised my mistake I tried to lift the edge of the sheet up with my finger nail, only to find the emulsion had become slightly damp from the sweat that was beginning to run rivers along my fingers, and drop or two must have run onto the emulsion with enough to adhere itself to the base of the film holder!
Yes I couldn't help I let lose with a few chosen words of exactly how I felt about this!
B**s**r* W*%k %e*k Yeh probably added a few more as I then tried to remove myself from said changing bag! It felt as if it had tightened its grip around my arms and was refusing to release me-All the time the tempereture was becoming hotter and the sweat was increasing tenfold-I begun to seriously consider damage control.
And try and save the rest of the unexposed film in the box which was now closed and sealed, but probably under attack from the flowing river of sweat now along my arms and the tops of my hands and fingers!
So I checked again that the film box was light tight, as well as the other film holders there were 3 others as to this one in question, this blighter would have to be unstuck so I decided to do in fresh clear air. And without the temperture at boiling point in some sweaty boil in the bag that really was only just adequate to load my 5x7 sheets!
Finally I managed to free my self of this sweat inducing monster, with a huge relief akin to reaching the surface after rolling in a Kayak and staying under for couple of minutes, then looking down at the rolling rivers of moisture along my arms and on the top of my hands and fingers. Imagine my surprise and then discontent when opening the DS to try and release this sheet of stuck down "I'm not moving git/film"
I noticed it was taking the black painted surface off with as I tried harder to release it!
More S**t* B**s***d
f^^* W***s spoken in furious tones!
So now I'm faced with taking a chance and loading film into this holder again.
As there are now missing patches of black and the silver backing is showing though, near to the end flap I'm now wondering whether this'll cause any flare.
In theory hopefully they shouldn,t as the flap'll should block any light bound around from any malfunctions once the lens is opened .. ?
or do I retouch these areas with a spot of black enamel and spotting brush ..
Before loading film into it .. ?
Not to be a kill joy on the LOL community out there .. I rarely eat fried food or Big Mac Gunge my chrolestrol count is "normal for youngish male and my height and body fat, and it wasn't the aftermath of a boozy weekend .. Pity would had something to aim it at!
Other than that if you've something enlighting or seminally LOL ..
I'm all ears-Just run out of moisture for the time being!
