I posted the use of a toothpick to apply the iodine. The size of the point of the toothpick can be reduced with a razor blade or with a piece of sandpaper. You want to completely reduce the pin hole and then use spotting color on the resulting white spot.

Does this ring a bell with the "old timers"? Something about using a toothpick with the Iodine, but i don't remember if the Iodine was "cut" to reduce strength, and then of course i am assuming one would re-fix after the process. Does this spark a memory chip for anyone? regards, ann clancy ================================================================================ ============================= To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there. ============================================================================================================= To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there.
