Some of the olde lab rats I knew insisted the only cleaner to use is Bon Ami Cake--the same stuff they used for ferrotype tins. You may have to look long and hard for it; but it is still around. |
John, Thank you for your replies! I think the last post found my issue. I have always loaded in the bag in my livingroom and never had any issues. Im a hobbiest and have about only 200 or so rolls under my belt but recently i bought a Mamiya C330f 6x6 and for some reason i started to load in a room in my basement and have noticed my arms sweating alot when loading down there. I even had to leave the bag wide open to dry out. This is when all my issues started with the loading. I feel its a humidity issue in my damp Chicago basement, The paper on the roll was wet when i tossed it out so it has to be the sweating that caused it. I will also take your advice on cleaning the reels. Thank you for your advice!
