Re: [Digital BW] Cleaning slide film

2004-03-30 by dmcluckie

On the same topic, I decided to haul out my dad's old slides to try 
to scan and print some.  A large batch of them have light mildew 
spots on the film, from poor storage.  Any suggestions for cleaning 
those?  On a household surface, a bleach solution would be used.

Thanks,

Don M
