Becky -

I'd agree with those who recommend the Edwal No-Scratch, but - if you can't find it - and if I'm recalling correctly - straight glycerin is a pretty good substitute, and should be available at any (real) drug store (pharmacy) (chemist's) for not much money.

I have been printing images from negatives I got from my grandmother. I have printed some of them in the past but recently I just felt like spending some time printing a lot more of them. My question is how do I deal with all of the scratches in the negatives. I've never tried anything for scratches other than the grease from my face. While facial oils do work wonders, I don't have enough facial grease to deal with all the scratches.
