    negative waxing

    I've only been heard of it being done for paper negatives, with which it improved light transmission/transparency. I can't imagine that it would do anything for standard celluloid negatives, though.

    negative waxing

    I don't think negatives would benifit from waxing but I regularly wax my prints with a pure carnuba wax and it makes them a bit more brilliant (glossy dried mat) and adds a bit of atmospheric protection. Paul
