Hi, all -
I have a bunch of 5x7 holders, all of 'em old, most of 'em wood. I'm finding that a lot of them give me light leaks in different conditions - some in really bright sunlight, some in ambient room lighting. Some are fine in some conditions, not in others. For example, I've used this holder dozens of times before, but yesterday, got this:

The camera's not suspect, and the bellows are fine. Short of burning film and being (unpleasantly) surprised, is there any practical way of chasing down such leaks before they happen?
