by rewashing you just mean running it under water?, honestly rewashing it might help to remove some of the dust and make it workable but im just extremely paranoid about ruining the image heard a few people mention washing it ruined the image and third just put the negative between 2 books or sleeve it? also id love to reverse wind it but a lot of it was cut into singles.. i will have to try that for the rest of the roll though yea id be interested in doing straight glass mounting but i dont have the means to do that atm something to keep in mind though thanks :)

ive read about like steaming/re humidifying the film with water at room temperature to soften it , would that work? sounds to me like it would just ruin the film but i dont know what else to try..

ok, so i tried processing a bit of this cut out about 2~ frames for testing got results from it and not to derail this thread further but, in this i learned that go figure this film is extremely curved from being stuck in a canister the last 70~ years and a bit brittle is there a way to unstiffen this film for scanning? i have several already developed shots that i was also asked to get scanned.. they seem brittle and one is curled so badly its a roll now they are single frames but i fear they will snap if forced flat as they feel decently brittle already

alright, i must have forgotten that, i guess freezer it is for now

oh and one last thing, how would one go about storing nitrate film? its unlikely i am to keep it for very long given the dangers with it but could one just put this in like a freezer until i can process it for example? or would that risk damaging it? ive read nitrate film shouldnt be put in humid air and id have to guess the freezer is going to be decently humid.

ahhh ok thank you it was weird to me as ive never seen that color but that makes sense thanks yea i didnt think the base mattered a lot but ive never handled nitrate film so i wasnt really positive if there was anything id need to be careful with on it yea i wasnt really expecting to get a bunch of undeveloped and unused old fujifilm. been quiet a fun challenge thus far lol

hm, ok yea ive read a lot on how HC110 is good for expired stuff. ive never used it yet myself so it will be a adventure. and yea i dont expect to get much out of it mostly owing the age of it all, the anti fogging agent you mentioned is interesting ive never heard of that ill have to try to look into that truth be told im not even sure the film isnt already ruined. the reel i pulled out was pinkish in color so im not even sure it isnt already ruined by something. suppose ill have to develop it and see what i get

i recently got 5 rolls of fuji film from 1944~ from a family member, i discovered that this film was nitrate based as it burned when i cut and burned a small piece. accepting that i wondered how would i go about processing this? i couldnt really find any information on fuji 35mm film from this age. so i figured i might try my luck and ask here. how should i go about processing this?, i dont really know what figures id use as even a starting point with this film given the lack of information i can find on it and all oh and please before it is mentioned i am aware of the issues with nitrate film and how it deteriorates. i pulled one of the unshoot rolls out of the container and as best i could tell it was not brittle, nor was it discolored and deforming so i think this is OK to process. also i do know that there is a good chance i will get nothing off undeveloped film this old, but i still want to try im sorry if this is the wrong section, im new to this form
