Mike, Mark,

I assume that this would not be an issue for use on flatbed scanners 
with a glass plate?

From what I have heard of Kammi fluid, it is very close in nature 
to "vanishing oil" used in metal working. A low molecular weight oil 
with a low flash point that evaporates easily. Almost a solvent. 
These typically can cause skin irritations by dissolving oils and 
drying out the skin. In a similar manner it probably removes the 
plasticizing agents from your drums making the surface brittle and 
causing surface checking.

Most importantly did you note any ill effects on your negatives from 
using the Kammi fluid? Any experience with their mounting tapes and 
other products?

Martin
