Over the past dozen years or so I have been buying used 4x5 sheet film holders to the point where I now have about 90.
It was raining all last week and there was not much else to do so I started cleaning the holders. Some were missing the white area where one can use a pencil to make notes. On a couple holders the white areas almost fell out so I glued them back into place. That is when I learned that the white area is not paint but a small bit of plastic that is inserted into place on the holder.
Very likely I can not contact the manufacturers of those old film holders as they are probably no longer in business.
So I was thinking that I could fill the hole with some sort of thick white paint. But what paint should I use? It would need to have enough "tooth" to accept pencil notes yet allow those notes to be erased.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Terry
