Getting a spot free film - my new method

This is very close to the way i wash my films. It's definitely working well, and the distilled water is perfect if you have issues with mineral stains.

I have a difficulty with a company like Costco which has stores in both the US and Canada having a special verson of rubbing alcohol just for Canadian distribution.

Gerald:

You would be surprised how many items in Costco are different in Canada than the US. I expect that this is due to the fact that Costco "grinds" all of its suppliers when it comes to price, and does its best to ensure that its suppliers do most of its warehousing for it.

Something that is even slightly "medical" may have different Health Canada Stanrds to be meet to be able to be sold in Canada. Just like electrical equipment has to have the Little "c" beside the UL (or whatever) seal to be leagl here. (For the states it has to have a "US")

That one bottle was several years ago and I didn't keep it, so I have no way of checking the label. I know I had problems with that one bottle and it is possible it was contaminated from something else but I have never had a problem with the 99%, which is pennies more.

I actually used to work for Costco and besides the name and concept, there is very little in common between the two countries: while the management is similar and all report back to Issaquah, Washington, there is very little business between the US and Canadian companies. Part of this is labeling requirements (they have to be in French and English in Canada) and part of this is what is allowed in food - Canadians are much more strict about dairy/meat, less strict with fruit and grains. It is just easier to buy from Canadian distributors than to import from US distributors and re-label everything.

I've never had a problem with just running water then a sit in water and photoflo.
