It is one of those miracle super-absorbant materials that will suck the moisture from your film without scratching it. It is very smooth and soft and will not scratch unless you get some kind of trash on it. Be sure that you only use a drop or two of PhotoFlo. Wipe the film very gently from top to bottom with the SAMI. Hang to dry in a dust-free room. Hope this helps!
