[QUOTE="Chucktin, post: 694925, member: 44180"] Good resource and technique to use. When we were tasked to do this we'd offer first to scan the slides _as they were_, this insured the fidelity of a set of scans, only then would we clean them. 98% alcohol was deemed a hazardous substance so that didn't last. We made one attempt to demount and re-wash some slides. The process was very clumsy, handling the film chips was a true PITA. And washing and drying them needed special handling equipment - we used "strip" processing hangers. The results weren't worth the effort. The mold had eaten away the imagery and rebuilding even the best of them was another PITA. [/QUOTE]
