Just some thoughts.
Well,,, if it's on the back, and I have no idea where you'd get one,
the old fluid gate film holder starts to sound like the plan. The
film rescue folks website talks about doing wet scans, they must have
something along those lines. I actually have a fluid gate for 35mm
I've never used, and have been packing around since about 1975,
complete with a bottle of some fluid with what is supposed to be safe
for silver, and the same refractive index as some random film base of
the time. They must have built something larger.
And I know this is infra dig, but the best recovery method might just
be a bit of the dark side and a good Photoshop technician.
Any chance you hit it with a temperature change big enough to
reticulate it a bit?
He a good commercial account you really need to keep? I think your
starting to look at some serious damage control $$ from a business perspective.

24 rolls,,, wow,,, Good luck and let us know how it works out.

I am not sure, to look at it with a 4x loupe on a light box you see
nothing. But if you catch a direct incident reflection on the back
of the film you see it. Right now I am experimenting with rewashing
and as I used a brand new large size bottle of LFN I notice that it
seems to cause some cloudiness in the rinse water that the old
bottle doesn't. So I am hoping that it is something that can be
washed off, but it doesn't look like it.

I've never seen this. Do you think it's enough to show in the

What's the chance it was the film?

I have been processing Acros in it and liking it and then a client
came in two days ago with a bag full of 120 FP4. I talked him into
letting me process it in Pryocat HD because I had really good luck
with 8x10 FP4 in Pyrocat.
I processed all his 24 rolls of 120 FP4 film and to my horror l
have discovered that the base of the film has picked up some weird
texture. The emulsion looks like you expect with Pyrocat like a slight
relief of the image but the base has gotten some sort of fine
pebbly surface to it. I was very careful with temperatures and my
chems were all fresh and I used non hardener fix and a plain water stop.
I gave the film a final rinse in Edwals LFN as I have done for
years. But there it is in uneven textured density more on some
rolls than others. I don't think it would print with a cold light
enlarger head
but this client scans film. I can't imagine it won't show up in a
scan and I have no idea how to explain it or what to say to the guy.
Anyone ever see such a thing?
