Hi all,

I have some 35mm negatives which have a few very thin
scatches on them. They can't be seen under a 5x loupe
on the lightbox, but when an 8 x 10 is made, there
they are.

Anyway, I put Edwal No-Scratch on the negative (on the
backing side, not the emulsion side), and this did
indeed eliminate the scratches. However, I have been
unable to spread the No-Scratch evenly enough so as
not to get little liquid ridges and bubbles that ruin
the prints.

Has anyone on the list used this stuff, and do you
have any secrets to getting it to spread evenly?

I also tried nose grease. It didn't work as well at
covering the scratches, and I found that my finger
created streaks. Maybe I should apply it with
something other that my finger.

Thanks.

John Meyers
