Help

My family recently gave me a box of photos and negatives to restore

from my older brothers army duty in italy. the photos are faded and

stored in plastic cased albums. th enegatives scan well but the dust

issues are driving me crazy. any one know of a quick procedure to

clean these babies?

Any help is good

One partial solution may be "Tiger Cloth"...anti-static dusting cloth from Lightimpressionsdirect.com

 

You may also want to soak the negs briefly in warm water with a few drops of photoflow, squeegee-ing (sp) them with your fingers and hanging them to dry in a low dust environment (like from a shower curtain rod).

There are some film cleaning products around that are not water based so the emulsion should not be effected. Edwall maybe as a source? I have not tried it yet, but I hope it will help me with my old B&W negatives that I can not use ICE on.
