Good idea with the nose grease! I like your out-of-the-box thinking :-)
However, an alternative?is wet mount holders that can really help with
scratches. I know there are such beasts for the Nikon Coolscan 8000/9000 but
do not know of others. Would definitely be a hassle with batch scans, but if
there are a few that warrant it, may be worth the effort.
Best,
Bob

I wish I could go back in time and take them again. ;-)? I would use
refrigerated film, filtered water to mix developer, PhotoFlo and a
film dryer!? I would also take more care with focusing the camera
:-(? I have learned a little over the years but I'm working with what
I've got here.? I can get a lot more out of these poor old negatives
by scanning with Silverfast and? developing in Lightroom than I would
ever be able to get in the darkroom.? Does nose grease work with
scanned film?? I'll have to try that!
