You know what I use to clean film? Soap and water. Well, actually, what I do is rewash the neg in distilled water with a bit of wetting agent, then wipe with a clean soft chamois and hang it up to dry. Takes a while but MAN your negs are clean. Also gets rid of drying marks and water-soluble scum that some organic film cleaners won't touch. - -- Johnny Deadman photos: http://www.pinkheadedbug.com music: http://www.jukebox.demon.co.uk
