Hi Jim,

Probably fifty years ago I bought dodging tools. A couple of thin wire
handles and clear red plastic circles, ovals, and other crazy stuff. All
of the red plastic stuff went by by very quickly but I still have and
use the wire handles. They are very thin and formed into a double loop
[of wire] at the business end. I use pieces of thin cardboard, black
paper, whatever, cut into the shape that I want, and then stick it into
the double wire loop holder. This works great. And when dodging, it is
very easy to dodge in a way that the wire (regardless of thickness) will
never show.
I have the same wire handle and double loop that you describe except
that mine came with black plastic circles, ovals and other shapes that I
still use. When the need arises and I am dodging a strange shape, I cut
thin black cardboard and insert that into the double loop.
Also, my ZBE neg holders have a cutout (on the outside) over the neg and
I have a piece of thin glass that will drop in there. I put a piece of
thin frosted acetate over the glass and use a Satbilo 8008 pencil to
shade in a large and/or irregular areas that needs holding back. That
allows me to hand dodge & burn other areas.
Not quite clear on this.... ZBE ??? and the glass that fits into the neg
cutout?????? This is where a visual answer/solution imposes itself ;)
Cheers,
Bogdan
