Specifically I want to replace the light traps around a Technika 4x5 back, it consists of two approximately 1/4" x 5" strips and one 3/8" x 4" strip forming a "U" shape around the inserted film holder, between the holder and the camera body.
I looked at Micro-Tools and am not sure what to order, or if a local crafts store might have it? It can't be too thick and must have a tight weave.
Also, what glue is best for attaching it to the metal surfaces?
And finally, is anyone shooting a Technika without these traps? The design of the camera seems like they aren't absolutely necessary, and of course I will test it in the meantime but if you know for certain it would save me wasting some film.
thanks
