Ralph,
Another option I have tried is the black neoprene stuff they sell in diver
shops, which they use to repair diver/wet-suits. I had limited succes with that
though..I am realy surprised about your observation that these pinholes did not
interfere with the actual exposure! Maybe I have been to hasty with replacing
my Toyo Field 810M which was realy puuctered with a lot of pinholes..;-)..
Best,
Cor
