    The 5x7 Agfa Ansco sprung a few leaks...

    ...pin holes in the bellows, so I fixed them pronto with a can of Blue Magic Brush-On electrical tape from my local ACE hardware store.
    A piece of cake!

    Question: how long did you need to wait (drying time) before you could reliably fold up the bellows?

    One issue that can come up is this can take a very long time to set and is slightly tacky unto itself, so when closed it can stick together, so leave the bels extended for weeks to avoid trouble...
